Question

In the diagram given below, calculate the area of the shaded portion. All measurements are in
centimetres.

Answer 1

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of complete rectangle = 8*6 = 48

Area of 5 smaller squares = 2*2*5 = 20

Shaded Area = 48-20 = 28

Answer 2

Answer:

area of the whole rectangle =l x b

                                              =8 x 6

                                              =48 cm

area of small squares inside=S x S

                                             =2 x 2

=4 cm

=5 squares =5 x 4

=20 cm

=48 - 20

= 28 CM
