Answer:
16.5
Step-by-step explanation:
BC = 11
AB = 3
Area of the shaded region = area of ∆AEB + area of ∆CED
Area of a triangle is given as,
A = ½*base*height
Find the area of each triangle and add together
✔️Area of ∆AEB = ½*bh
Where,
base (b) = 3
height (h) = ½(BC) = ½(11) = 5.5
Area of ∆AEB = ½*3*5.5 = 8.25
✔️Area of ∆CED = ½*bh
Where,
b = 3
h = ½(BC) = ½(11) = 5.5
Area of ∆CED = ½*3*5.5 = 8.25
✅Area of the shaded region = area of ∆AEB + area of ∆CED
= 8.25 + 8.25
= 16.5
