Question

The grid you see below is in the shape of a rectangle. What is the area, in square units, of the shaded part?

Answer 1

8 units²

Explanation:

The area (A) of the shaded part (right triangle ) is calculated as

A =
`(1)/(2)` × area of rectangle

= 0,5 × 4 × 4 = 0.5 × 16 = 8 units²

Answer 2

8 units ^2 are shaded

Explanation:

The total area of the square is 4 * 4 = 16

1/2 of the square is shaded so

1/2 * 16 = 8

8 units ^2 are shaded
