Question

The side length of each square is 6 units. Find the areas of the inscribed shapes.

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 18

b) 20

c) 12

d) 12

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The triangle is half of the square, so you can find the area of the square(36) and divide by 2: so 18

b) There are 4 same sized blank triangles with area of 4 ( (2*4)/2 ) so 4 * 4 is 16. 16 is the blank area so the area of the shaded is 36 - 16: 20

c) There are 2 blank triangles which areas are 6, and 18, so you subtract those numbers from 36: 36 - (6+18) = 12

d) Another 2 same blank triangles with areas of 12 ( (6 *4)/2 )so you subtract them from 36 too: 36 - (12*2) = 36 - 24 = 12
