Question

Find the shaded area. First to answer (correctly) will get brainliest.

Answer 1

Answer:

2.27 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The shaded area is the subtraction of the area of an equilateral triangle (with sides = 2 m) to the area of a square (with sides = 2 m)

Area of equilateral triangle = √3/4*a²

where a is the length of the sides of the triangle. Replacing with a = 2

Area of the equilateral triangle = √3/4*2² = √3 m²

Area of the square = a² = 2² = 4 m²

Shaded area = 4 - √3 ≈ 2.27 m²
