Today's lesson is where we put all our learning of Circles, Sectors, Perimeters and Areas together.
For the purpose of geometry, Composite means:
"A complex shape, made up of (composed of) two or more other shapes".
Many shapes in life are not perfect circles or squares. A cricket ground or football oval may not always be rectangular, or oval shape.
Definition: Composite Shape
