Question

What is the area of the shaded region? DO NOT include the unit of measure in your answer

Answer 1

The area is 73. You have to find the area of both triangles using the formula a = 1/2bh. The shaded triangle is 108 square yards but because another triangle is cut out of it, we need to subtract the area of the white triangle from the shaded triangle. The area of the white triangle is 35. So now we have 108-35 =73. That’s how i got 73.
