By the end of the lesson, you will be able to find the area of complex figures.
Standard 4MG1.4 - Students will understand and use formulas to solve problems involving…areas of rectangles and squares. Use those formulas to find the areas of more complex figures by dividing the figures into basic shapes.

With me, draw the letter L in block style on your graph paper. We will be dividing the letter into 2 small rectangles.
What is the formula we can use to find the area of each rectangle?
A = l x w Find the area of each rectangle using the
formula. Check answer by counting the squares. Explain how we would find the area of the letter

Area of a Complex FigureArea of a Complex Figure
Rectangle A = length x width A = l x w A = 12 m x 6 m A = 72 square
meters
Rectangle A = length x width A = l x w A = 12 m x 6 m A = 72 square
meters
Square A = side x side A = s x s A = 10 m x 10 m A = 100 square
meters
Square A = side x side A = s x s A = 10 m x 10 m A = 100 square
meters
• Step 2 - Find the area of each part.
Step 3 - Add the areas.
• The area is 72 + 100 or 172 square meters.
