Question

Calculate the area of the shaded region in the rectangle. 20' 5' 12 7

Answer 1

Answer:

20 x 12 = 240(total area)

20 - 7 = 13(base)

12 - 5 = 7(height)

13 x 7 = 91

91 divided by 2 (x 1/2) = 45.5

Now we subtract the area of the non shaded region from the shaded region.

240 - 45.5 = 194.5 is your answer.
