Question

Find the area of the shaded regen show all work

Answer 1

The area of the shaded portion is 65 square units

Here, we want to get the area of the shaded portion

What we have to do is to find the area of the parallelogarm and subtract the area of the inner rectangle

To find the area of the parallelogram, we have to multiply the base by the height

The base as seen is 10, and the height is 8

The area of the parallelogram is thus;

`8\text{ }*\text{ 10 = 80 }`

The area of the inner rectangle is the product of its side lengths

We have this as;

`5*3\text{ = 15}`

The area of the shaded portion is thus;

`80-15\text{ = 65 square units}`
