Question

Find the area of the shaded region ​

Answer 1

Answer:

68 units sq

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to find the total area of all the shapes and subtract the unshaded.

(9 + 17) * 8 / 2, formula

26 * 4 = 104

Then find the unshaded part

9 * 8 / 2

9 * 4

= 36

104 - 36 = 68

Answer 2

Answer:

68

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a trapezoid is $A = \frac{a+b}{2} h$
Use the values given in the equation:
$A = \frac{17+9}{2} *8$
A = 13*8

A=104 (This the area of the overal trapezoid)

To find the area of the inner unshaded triangle, simply multiply 9 (Base) times height (8) * 1/2 to get 36

Then subtract 36 from 104 and you get 68
