A composite is any number that has a prime factor smaller than itself and greater than 1.
A composite number has 3 or more factors. Example: 10 is a composite number because it has 4 factors: 1, 2, 5 and 4. You find these using multiplication or division. Another example is 25. It has 3 factors which are 1, 5 and 25.
You need to break down the composite figure into simpler shapes whose areas you can calculate using appropriate formule and then add together the areas of all the individual bits.
117 is a composite. I know because suming the digits is 9. A number is a multiple of 117 if it's a multiple of 9 and 13 at the same time
A figure (or shape) that can be divided into more than one of the basic figures is said to be a composite figure (or shape).For example, figure ABCD is a composite figure as it consists of two basic figures. That is, a figure is formed by a rectangle and triangle as shown below.The area of a composite figure is calculated by dividing the composite figure into basic figures and then using the relevant area formula for each basic figure.Example 20Find the area of the following composite figure:Solution:The figure can be divided into a rectangle and triangle as shown below.So, the area of the composite figure is 216 cm2.
