Perimeter and Area of Compound Shapes Revision Videos

Compound shapes are shapes that you will need to break down into smaller, simpler shapes in order to work out their areas. Working out the perimeter is just a question of adding up all the sides all the way round the shape. Take a look at the video below which explains all this in more detail.
