Question

Find the area of the shaded region. (please!!!)

Answer 1

12.5 m²

Explanation:

The shaded area is a triangle whose area (A) can be calculated as

A =
`(1)/(2)` bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )

Here b = 8 - 3 = 5 and h = 5 , then

A =
`\frac{1}2}` × 5 × 5 = 0.5 × 25 = 12.5 m²
