Edexcel IGCSE Maths 复习笔记 4.11.2 Area - Adding & Subtracting
What do we mean by an awkward shape (a compund shape)?

- However, the area may be found by using a combination of standard shapes
- These are often called Compound Shapes and you may see Compound Area mentioned too
Finding the area of an awkward shape (compound area)
- When you are asked to find the area of an “awkward” shape, split the shape into standard shapes first, and then add them together

Then the area of the whole shape is the rectangle minus the triangle:
