Question

Directions : find the area of the shaded region . round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

A way you should find the answer is to compose the shape. You find the area of the entire shape then subtract the unshaded area's area. The rectangle's area is 16*8=128. Each of the triangle's area in the corner are 2 (2*2/2). 2*4=8 and 128-8 is 120.
