Relative Frequency is how often something happens divided by all outcomes.

24 adults like pizza from a total pf 50 adults.
The frequency of adults who like pizza is 24.
The Relative Frequency of winning is 24/50 = 0.48 = 48%

What is the area of the shaded region?

Verdich [7]

<h2>Area of Composite Shapes</h2>

To find the area of composite shapes, we can break the bigger shape down into small, simpler shapes, and find the sum of their areas.

For this triangle, we will need to know the formula to find the area of a triangle:

$A=\dfrac{1}{2}bh$

<h2>Solving the Question</h2>

The given shape can be seen as one large triangle with a little triangle cut out of it. To find the shaded region, we can:

Find the area of the large triangle
Find the area of the little triangle
Subtract the area of the little triangle from the large triangle

<h3>Area of the Large Triangle</h3>

$A=\dfrac{1}{2}bh$

⇒ Plug in the values given for the base and height:

$A=\dfrac{1}{2}(5)(2+4+6)\\\\A=\dfrac{1}{2}(5)(12)\\\\A=(5)(6)\\\\A=30 mm^2$

<h3>Area of the Small Triangle</h3>

$A=\dfrac{1}{2}bh$

⇒ Plug in the values given for the base and height:

$A=\dfrac{1}{2}(3)(4)\\\\A=(3)(2)\\\\A=6mm^2$

<h3>Subtract the Area of the Small Triangle from the Area of the Large Triangle</h3>

$30 mm^2-6mm^2\\=24mm^2$

<h2>Answer</h2>

The area of the shaded region is $24mm^2$ .
