How do you find volume and surface area of composite figues?

To find the volume and surface area of composite figures, first break the figure down into simpler shapes (like prisms, cylinders, or spheres). Calculate the volume and surface area of each individual shape using their respective formulas. For volume, sum the volumes of the separate shapes, and for surface area, add the surface areas while ensuring to account for any overlapping areas that are not exposed. Finally, apply the appropriate units for both volume and surface area.
