The area of the shaded portion is 79 sq. cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are three non-shaded triangles in the given large rectangle with dimensions 14 cm by 10 cm.
The smallest triangle is a right triangle with base 5 cm and height (10 - 6) = 4 cm.
So, its area is (0.5 × 4 × 5) = 10 square cm.
The medium triangle is a right triangle and it has base length 8 cm and height 6 cm.
So, its area is (0.5 × 8 × 6) = 24 square cm.
The large triangle is a right triangle and it has base length 9 cm and height 6 cm.
So, its area is (0.5 × 9 × 6) = 27 square cm.
Therefore, the area of the shaded portion on the rectangle = Total area of the rectangle - (Sum of the area of non-shaded three triangles)
= [(14 × 10) - (10 + 24 + 27)]
= 79 square cm. (Answer)
