Question

Help me find out the area!!​

Answer 1

Answer:

20 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the shaded region consists of two triangles:

One on the left hand side

one on the right hand side

We know area of triangle is:

A = 0.5 * length * height

Now, lets find area of left-hand side triangle:

The height is 5

The top length is 2 + 6 = 9

So, bottom part is 7 (white part) so the remaining part would be:

9 - 7 = 2

So, the length of this triangle is 2 and height is 5, hence, area:

Area = 0.5 * 2 * 5 = 5

Now, lets find area of right-hand side triangle:

The length is 6, on top.

The height is same as side opposite, which is given 5

So,

length = 6

height = 5

So, area would be:

Area = 0.5 * 6 * 5 = 15

Total Area of Shaded Region = 5 + 15 = 20 square meters
