Question

Find the area of the shaded region

Answer 1

Answer: 84 yd²

Explanation:

First find the area of the entire rectangle.

7 × 16 = 112 yd²

Then find area of the cut-out triangle.

`(1)/(2)`bh =
`(1)/(2)`(7)(8) = 28 yd²

To find the area of the shaded area:

rectangle - triangle = shaded area

112 - 28 = 84 yd²
