Apply the area and perimeter formulas for rectangles to solve real-world and other mathematical problems. Investigate the area of complex shapes composed of rectangles by decomposing them into non-overlapping rectangles and adding the areas of the non-overlapping parts; apply this technique to solve real-world problems and other mathematical problems.
