Work out the area of the shaded shape.

Answer 1

Answer:

38 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The shaded shape is composed of two rectangles.

A horizontal rectangle at the top of the T shape and a vertical rectangle.

area of horizontal rectangle = 2 × (2 + 3 + 5) = 2 × 10 = 20 cm²

area of vertical rectangle = 3 × 6 = 18 cm²

shaded area = 20 + 18 = 38 cm²

Answer 2

The are of horizontal rectangle Is
(5+3+2)•2=20m^2

The area of the vertical triangle
6•3=18M^2

Add both areas 18+20=38 is the total area of the shaded part. Hope that answers the question
