Question

What is the area of the shaded triangle? answers are A) 54 B) 42 C) 27 D) 21

Answer 1

Answer:

D) 21

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the area of a triangle is A = 1/2 B x H. So, A = 1/2 (7)(6).

A = 1/2 (42)

A = 21.

So the area of the shaded region is 21 square units.

Answer 2

Answer:21

Step-by-step explanation:

area of shaded part=area of big triangle - area of small triangle

area of shaded part=(9x6)/2 - (2x6)/2

Area of shaded part=54/2 - 12/2

Area of shaded part=27-6

Area of shaded part=21
