Question

Answer choices are 14 24 28 48

Answer 1

Answer: 24 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

It appears the shaded area of the rectangle is half of the rectangle's area. This means if we find the area of the rectangle and divide it by 2 we will know the area of the shaded portion.

The formula for the area of a rectangle is $lw=A$

Where

l is the length (8 for this)

w is the width (6 for this)

A is the area

However, since we are finding half the area we will divide lw by 2

Sub the values into the formula

$\frac{lw}{2} =A\\\frac{(8)(6)}{2} =A\\\frac{48}{2} =A\\24=A$
