Question

What is the area to that triangle ?

Answer 1

Answer: 54 cm²

Explanation:

Area of the big triangle minus the area of the small triangle will give you the area of the shaded region.

`\text{Area of big triangle}=(base\cdot height)/(2)\\\\A=(24* 6)/(2)\\\\.\quad =12* 6\\\\.\quad = 72`

`\text{Area of small triangle}=(base\cdot height)/(2)\\\\A=(12* 3)/(2)\\\\.\quad =6* 3\\\\.\quad = 18`

Big - Small = Shaded

72 - 18 = Shaded

54 = Shaded
