The document provides instruction on calculating the area of irregular two-dimensional and three-dimensional figures. It discusses composite figures, which are made up of two or more basic shapes, and how to find the total area by splitting the composite figure into basic shapes and adding the individual areas. The document also covers surface area, explaining how to calculate it for complex three-dimensional objects by splitting them into basic shapes and accounting for any faces shared between components.
