I can calculate the area of composite figures by decomposing them into basic shapes.

1
The area of a square is calculated by the formula side squared, while the area of a rectangle is length times width.
2
The area of a triangle is found using the formula ½ × base × height, and the area of a parallelogram is base × height.
3
The area of a circle is calculated using the formula πr², where r represents the radius of the circle.
