Question

Write a description of how you would calculate the area of the shaded space include the answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

The area of shaded region is 25.5 units³

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 , you have to find the area of rectangle and triangle using the formulas :

Rectangle :

$area = length \times width$

Let length = 5 units,

Let width = 6 units,

$area = 5 \times 6$

$area = 30 \: \: {units}^{2}$

Triangle :

$area = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height$

Let base = 3 units,

Let height = 3 units,

$area = \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 3$

$area = \frac{1}{2} \times 9$

$area = 4.5 \: \: \: {units}^{2}$

Step 2 , in order to find the shaded region, you have to substract the area of triangle from the area of rectangle (As the triangle is not shaded) :

$area = 30 - 4.5$

$area = 25.5 \: \: \: {units}^{2}$
