Learn how to determine area of a composite shape by finding the area of the entire rectangle and subtracting the area of the missing piece. In this activity, the composite shapes are a larger rectangle with a piece cut out of the middle
A. Determine area of a composite shape by splitting it into two rectangles and adding the areas (Part 1)
B. Determine area of a composite shape by completing the rectangle and subtracting the area of the missing piece (Part 1)
D. Determine area of a composite shape by splitting it into two rectangles and adding the areas (Part 2)
E. Determine the area of a composite shape using either the "break apart and add" or "complete and subtract" strategy
