Question

Find the total area of the shaded region.​

Answer 1

Area of triangle ABC = Height not given.

Area of triangle DEB = 1/2×b×h

= 1/2 × 5×3

= 7.5cm^2

Area of square BCEF = (side)^2 = (6)^2 = 36cm^2

Area of triangle CFG = 1/2×b×h

= 1/2 × 5×3

= 7.5cm^2

Total area of the figure = DBE + BCEF + CFG

= 7.5 + 36 + 7.5

= 51cm^2.
