Do Now: Composite Shapes

Composite shapes are formed when a combination of basic shapes are put together. Can you
see the basic shapes that can be used to form the following house? Some of the structures
may look complicated, but rectangles and right-angled triangles constitute most composite
shapes.

Annotate the image above, labelling all the rectangles and right-angled triangles that you
can find. You can edit this media using Microsoft Edge or print to annotate your shapes on
paper.

In a paragraph, find some objects around the house and describe how they can be formed
using a series of rectangles and right-angled triangles.
