#1-3
Find the shaded area of each figure, and round your answer to one decimal place if necessary.

Answer 1

1) 55 in²

2) 486 ft²

3) 5.6 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the area of each given figure, subtract the area of the cut-out rectangle (marked in blue on the attached diagram) from the area of the larger rectangle.

`\boxed{\begin{minipage}{5cm}\underline{Area of a rectangle}\\\\$A=w\cdot l$\\\\where:\\ \phantom{ww} $\bullet$ \quad $w$ is the width.\\ \phantom{ww} $\bullet$ \quad $l$ is the length.\\\end{minipage}}`

Question 1

`\begin{aligned}\textsf{Total Area}&=\textsf{Larger rectangle}-\textsf{Cut-out rectangle}\\&=8 \cdot 10- 5\cdot 5\\&=80-25\\&=55\; \sf in^2\end{aligned}`

Question 2

`\begin{aligned}\textsf{Total Area}&=\textsf{Larger rectangle}-\textsf{Cut-out rectangle}\\&= 31.5\cdot 18- 9\cdot 9\\&=567-81\\&=486\; \sf ft^2\end{aligned}`

Question 3

`\begin{aligned}\textsf{Total Area}&=\textsf{Larger rectangle}-\textsf{Cut-out rectangle}\\&= 6\cdot 2.4- 4.4\cdot2 \\&=14.4-8.8\\&=5.6\; \sf cm^2\end{aligned}`

Answer 2

You posted a lot of questions. I'll do the first three to get you started.

==================================================

Problem 1

Answer: 55 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a vertical line to enclose the un-shaded region. Think of it like adding fencing to enclose a paddock or backyard.

What results are two rectangles. The larger rectangle has area = length*width = 8*10 = 80 square inches.

The smaller unshaded rectangle inside has area of 5*5 = 25 square inches.

The difference of those areas is: 80-25 = 55

You have the correct answer. Nice work.

==================================================

Problem 2

Answer: 486 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Follow the same set of steps as done in the previous problem. Draw a vertical line to form a larger rectangle.

The larger rectangle has area of 18*31.5 = 567 square feet.

The smaller unshaded rectangle has area of 9*9 = 81 square feet.

Subtract those results to get the shaded region only: 567-81 = 486

==================================================

Problem 3

Answer: 5.6 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

This time we don't have to add any extra lines to enclose the figure.

A = larger area = 6*2.4 = 14.4

B = smaller unshaded area = 2*4.4 = 8.8

C = A-B = 14.4-8.8 = 5.6 square cm

You have the correct answer. Nice work.
