Question

Can y’all pls help me find the area of shaded region. pls no links. it’s due today 4/19

Answer 1

Area of a Trapezium

The trapezium has two parallel sides and two non-parallel sides

Since sides of lengths 7, 5 are parallel and perpendicular to the side of length 4. Thus the trapezium has bases b1=7, b2=5, and height h=4.

The formula to calculate the area of a trapezium is:

$A=\frac{b1+b2}{2}\cdot h$

Substituting:

$A=\frac{7+5}{2}\cdot4=\frac{12}{2}\cdot4=24$

The area of the shaded region is 24 square units
