    This document discusses two types of composite geometry problems - "end to end" and "door with window". For "end to end" problems, the shapes are added together using addition. For "door with window" problems, the area of the smaller shape is subtracted from the larger shape using subtraction, as the smaller shape represents a window that cannot be painted. The document provides examples and step-by-step instructions for solving both types of problems.

    Composite Geometry

    p. 524 #2
    By Robert C Gonzalez
    CE Instructor, San Antonio College
    Two basic types of problems
     “End to end”
     “Door with window”

    In general,
     Addition is used for “end to end” problems.

     Subtraction is used for “door with window”


    problems.
    “End to End” problems
     What basic shapes
    make up the composite
    figure?

     The shape to the right


    is a triangle placed end
    to end with a rectangle.
    How to solve
     Find the area of the
    triangle.
     Find the area of the
    rectangle.
     Add the areas of both
    shapes together.
    **Be sure to use the
    proper formulas!**
    “Door with Window” problems
     What basic shapes make
    up this composite figure?
     The shape is a large
    rectangle that has a small
    rectangle on top.
     It looks like a door with a
    window.
     If you were going to paint
    the door you must not paint
    over the window!
    How to solve
     The small rectangle is
    like a window that you
    cannot paint over.
     Find the area of the big
    rectangle.
     Find the area of the
    little rectangle.
     Subtract the two areas
    to find the area without
    the window.
