You get the area by using formulas. There is usually a specific formula to find the area of each shape. Some irregular shaps may not have a formula.

Not easily. You need to find the area or perimeter of the components and sum them.
Break the composite shape down into simple units. Find the perimeter and area of each and then add these up as appropriate. If the shape cannot be broken down easily you may have to rely on integration or numerical methods.
area of a polygon is the amount of area inside the polygon. A square is a polygon and its area is the side length squared, ie times itself. Some polygons are harder to find the area of.
Multiply the sides
you find the perimeter and then you times all the sides together

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.
Break the composite shape down into simple units. Find the perimeter and area of each and then add these up as appropriate. If the shape cannot be broken down easily you may have to rely on integration or numerical methods.
To find the area, first divide the shape into regular, simple shapes. Then use formulas to find the area of the smaller, regular shapes. Lastly, add up all the smaller areas to find the area of the original shape.
area of a polygon is the amount of area inside the polygon. A square is a polygon and its area is the side length squared, ie times itself. Some polygons are harder to find the area of.
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.

For example, you can divide the polygon into triangles, and calculate the area of each triangle.
well to find the area of an object, you multiply the length and height. si measure each of it's sides, and multiply together. that's how you find the polygon's area.
Divide the polygon into triangles. Calculate the areas of the triangles and then sum these.
To find the area of a composite figure consisting of a trapezoid and a triangle, you would first calculate the area of the trapezoid using the formula A = (1/2)h(b1 + b2), where h is the height of the trapezoid and b1 and b2 are the lengths of the two parallel bases. Then, you would calculate the area of the triangle using the formula A = (1/2)bh, where b is the base of the triangle and h is the height. Finally, you would add the areas of the trapezoid and the triangle together to find the total area of the composite figure.
