Answers
Answer:
Area of rectangle=8×6=48sq.cm
Area of triangle with base 4cm and height 5cm is
= 21
×4×5=10sq.cm
Area of triangle with base 3cm and height 6cm is
= 21 ×3×6=9sq.cm
Area of triangle with base 2cm and height 8cm is
= 21 ×2×8=8sq.cm
Area of shaded triangle=Area of rectangle−Area of unshaded triangle
Area of shaded triangle=48−(10+9+8)=48−27=21sq.cm
