What is an example of a composite figure in your home or community? How would you decompose it to find the area? Can you think of another reason that it would be helpful to decompose these figures in addition to making it easier to find the area of the figure?

A use for decomposing the figure would just be assembly purposes, the pieces would neatly fit together and be taken apart.
