<h2>Area of Composite Shapes</h2>

To find the area of composite shapes, we can break the bigger shape down into small, simpler shapes, and find the sum of their areas.

For this triangle, we will need to know the formula to find the area of a triangle:

A=\dfrac{1}{2}bh

<h2>Solving the Question</h2>

The given shape can be seen as one large triangle with a little triangle cut out of it. To find the shaded region, we can:

  1. Find the area of the large triangle
  2. Find the area of the little triangle
  3. Subtract the area of the little triangle from the large triangle

<h3>Area of the Large Triangle</h3>

A=\dfrac{1}{2}bh

⇒ Plug in the values given for the base and height:

A=\dfrac{1}{2}(5)(2+4+6)\\\\A=\dfrac{1}{2}(5)(12)\\\\A=(5)(6)\\\\A=30 mm^2

<h3>Area of the Small Triangle</h3>

A=\dfrac{1}{2}bh

⇒ Plug in the values given for the base and height:

A=\dfrac{1}{2}(3)(4)\\\\A=(3)(2)\\\\A=6mm^2

<h3>Subtract the Area of the Small Triangle from the Area of the Large Triangle</h3>

30 mm^2-6mm^2\\=24mm^2

<h2>Answer</h2>

The area of the shaded region is 24mm^2.

A carpenter built a square table with side length x. Next, he will build a rectangular table by tripling one side and halving th
mart [117]

The simplified expression for the area of the rectangular table is Three-halves x squared, 3x²/2

<h3>What is the area of the rectangular table?</h3>

Since the carpenter built a square table with side length x.  Next, he will build a rectangular table by tripling one side and halving the other.

To find the area of the rectangular table, we know that Area, A = LW where

  • L = length and
  • W = width

Now, since the length of the square is x, and the rectangular table has one side of the square tripled and halving the other side .

So,

let

  • length of the rectangular table = L = x/2 and
  • width of rectangular = W = 3x

So, the area of the rectangular table A = LW

= x/2 × 3x

= 3x²/2

So, the simplified expression for the area of the rectangular table is Three-halves x squared, 3x²/2
