Question

Find the Area of the Shaded Region.

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  610 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

If we extend the horizontal line across the right-hand portion of the figure, then the figure is divided into two rectangles:

  bottom: 5 m × 50 m = 250 m²

  top: 18 m × 20 m = 360 m²

The sum of these areas is the shaded area:

  shaded area = 250 m² +360 m² = 610 m²
