Value 14 so it must be 55 or something
Answer:
The area of the shaded figure is:
Step-by-step explanation:
To obtain the area of the shaded figure, first, you must calculate this as a rectangle, with the measurements: wide (4 units), and long (6 units):
- Area of a rectangle = long * wide
- Area of a rectangle = 6 * 4
- Area of a rectangle = 24 units^2
How the figure isn't a rectangle, you must subtract the triangle on the top, so, now we calculate the area of that triangle with measurements: wide (4 units), and height (2 units):
- Area of a triangle =

- Area of a triangle =

- Area of a triangle =

- Area of a triangle = 4 units^2
In the end, you subtract the area of the triangle to the area of the rectangle, to obtain the area of the shaded figure:
- Area of the shaded figure = Area of the rectangle - Area of the triangle
- Area of the shaded figure = 24 units^2 - 4 units^2
- <u>Area of the shaded figure = 20 units^2</u>
I use the name "units" because the exercise doesn't say if they are feet, inches, or another, but you can replace this in case you need it.
what is the height? in order to calculate the amount of water a rectangular prism can hold, you must know the volume of that rectangular prism, therefore needing three unit factors, including the length, width, and height.... you gave me two factors, the length and the width, so i cannot help you
