Question

How would I find the area of the shaded region ?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Multiply 6 × 7 and then divide by 2 to get the area of the shaded region (the triangle)

Answer 2

Answer:

21 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of full square = 7 × 6 = 42 cm^2

Area of small unshaded triangle = (1/2) × base × height = 0.5 × 2 × 6 = 6 cm^2

Area of large unshaded triangle = 0.5 × 5 × 6 = 15 cm^2

Now area of Shaded triangle = Area of full square - area of two unshaded triangles = 42 - 6 - 15 = 21 cm^2
