Lesson 6: Area of Composite Shapes

What are the properties of polygons, and how do they differ from other shapes like circles?
How can we find the area and perimeter of two-dimensional shapes, including irregular ones?
How can you find the area of a polygon by decomposing (breaking down) it into other, more familiar shapes like triangles and rectangles?
