Question

The figure is made up of a square and a rectangle. Find the area of the shaded region.

Answer 1

Yeah he got it right

Answer 2

first we do

square is length 6 so base =6

10-6=4

the rectangle is 2 by 4

base=4

square is 6 by 6

rectangle is 4 by 2

split the triangles up

area of triangle=1/2base times height

rectangle triangle base=4

height=2, area=1/2 times 2 times 4=4

square triangle

flip 90 degrees clockwise so we have base=2

height=6

area=1/2 times 2 times 6=6

add

4+6=10

total area=10m^2
