I would tell them to make the shape into smaller figures that they know. Then they should find the area of the shapes. Finally you need to add all of them up.

First, I would tell them to decompose it into shapes they know. Next, I would tell them to find the area of each shape they broke it the shape up into. Finally i would tell them to add all the areas of each shape together.

i would tell them they should decompose it into shapes they no, then find the area and add the area of the smaller shapes and add them together

write the formula so they understand what they have to do. decompose the shape.then, find the area of the shapes u broke up.finally add all of the decomposed shapes to get ur answer. Then u get the question right YAY!!! ( or if ur lazy just ask google)

I would first, decompose the complex figure into shapes that I know I can find the area for (using a formula). Then I find the area of all the shapes that I have broken up from the complex figure. Lastly I would find the sum of all the areas, to find the area of the complex figure

I would make the shape into smaller figures. (triangles, rectangles, etc.) Then I would tell the person to the formula (b times h) After that I would tell the person to find the sum of all the areas. That is how I would find the area of a complex figure.

I would tell them to decompose the figure into shapes that we know how to find the area of. Get the area of those figures by using the formula that you have learned in your magical math class. Then add all of the area up to find the area of the figure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then you have to tell Mr. Peeperson that you did it so u get M&Ms. YAYYYY

also yes, abby you can look on google or ask somebody! SIRI

I would tell them to first magically decompose the amazing figure into smaller shapes that you are familiar with (and they should be magical) and then you will need to do the regular formula (for the decomposed shapes) then you will add together what you got and.... ALAKAZAM you have the answer!!!!!!! Then you will have to run around on rainbows with your magical friends the unitato and talking M&Ms that you can't eat they don't taste good

First i would decompose the figure and those figures that i see and find the area of them then combine all of them to find the area of the complex shape.

I would tell the person is first to decompose the big shape into small ones that are easy to use. Then you find the area of each shape. Finally you sum them all up and get your answer.

If someone was trying to find the area of a complex figure i would tell them to decompose it into smaller figures like rectangles and then to find the area of all the rectangles and then you add all the areas that you got in the figure together. and then WOLALA YOU HAVE THE ANSWER!!!

or you could look it up on google or ask siri

I would tell them to decompose the shape. So they can find the area of smaller shapes. Then u get ur answer of the problem.

I would tell them to decompose the complex figure into shapes that they could find the area of and then they would have to find the area of each of the shapes. Then, you would have to add up the areas of all of the shapes and NOW YOU HAVE THE ANSWER!!!!!!!!!

IF someone was trying to figure out the area of a complex figure, I would tell them to first decompose the figure and then find the area of the smaller ones.

If someone were trying to find the area of a complex figure I would tell them to decompose the figure into smaller figures and find the areas of the smaller figures. Next you would add all the smaller areas and the sum would be the area of the complex figure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If someone was trying to figure out the area of a complex figure I would tell them to find common shapes inside the complex figure and find the area of all those figures and all the areas up.

I will tell that person to decompose the figure or break it into seprate pieces. Like one section is a and the other is b *__________* turtle

i would tell them to find the formula

so it would help them

If somebody told me that i would tell them stranger danger. But if i knew them i would first say to decompose the shape into shapes they know then find the base and height of each decomposed shape. Then multiply all the bases and height of each shape then add all the areas together.

I would tell them to decompose the complex figure into separate figures. Then, I would tell them to find the area of each figure with the formula that fits the figures that they made. Lastly, i would tell them to add each area up and get the final area!!!!!!!!!!:)

I would tell the person to decompose the complex figure. After, I would tell them to separate the known shapes and find the length and the height. Last, I would tell them to add them all together. That's how you would find the area!

To find the area of a complex figure you would have to decompose the figure. Then you would find the area of the figures you know. Finally add them together. That's how you find the are of a complex figure.
