Worksheet for measuring and calculating the area of compound shapes.

Since I can't view or access images directly, I can’t see the specific shapes or measurements in your uploaded image. However, I can help you solve "Measuring Area of Compound Shapes" problems like the one described.

Here’s how to approach this type of task:

---

🔧 Objective:

Measure and calculate the area of each compound shape (made up of rectangles).

---

✔ Steps to Solve:

1. Break the Shape into Rectangles:
- Each compound shape is made of two or more rectangles.
- Divide the shape mentally or with lines into simple rectangles.

2. Measure Dimensions:
- Use a ruler (as shown in the image) to measure:
- Length (longer side)
- Width (shorter side)
- Record these in centimeters (cm) or inches, depending on the scale.

3. Calculate Area of Each Rectangle:
- Use the formula:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width}
\]

4. Add Areas Together:
- Add the areas of all individual rectangles to get the total area.

5. Write Your Answer:
- Fill in "area =" for each shape.

📏 Example Walkthrough:

Let’s assume one of the shapes looks like an L-shape made of two rectangles.

- Rectangle A: 6 cm × 3 cm → Area = 18 cm²
- Rectangle B: 4 cm × 2 cm → Area = 8 cm²
- Total Area: 18 + 8 = 26 cm²

💡 Tips:

- Always check if the shape has overlapping parts — but usually, compound shapes are non-overlapping.
- Make sure your measurements are accurate using the ruler.
- Label each rectangle clearly before calculating.

⚠️ Important:

Because I can’t see your image, I can’t give exact answers. But if you describe one of the shapes (e.g., “a big rectangle with a small rectangle missing from the bottom right”), I can help you calculate it step-by-step.

Alternatively, if you can describe the dimensions of each shape or measure them yourself and share the numbers, I’ll guide you through the calculations!
