Question

The given rectangle is made up of 12 squares.Find the area of shaded region.

Answer 1

Answer:

96 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

area of 1 square = 4 * 4 = 16 cm

the shaded region form triangles

area of 1 triangle = 1/2 * 16 = 8 cm   [∵ they lie on the same plain and    between the same parallel lines ]

total number of triangles = 12

area of 12 triangles = area of the shaded region

                                = 12 * 8

                                = 96 cm²
