Question

Find the area of the shaded region

Answer 1

Don't worry I will help to solve this problem OK.Sorry I don't understand please ask with other OK .

Explanation:

base = 40

height = 16

Area of parallelogram = b×h = 40× 16= 640

Answer 2

the area of the shaded area is 160 cm ²

Explanation:

Hey There!

so the first step in solving this problem is to find the area of the whole shape

This is a trapezoid and the formula for area of a trapezoid is

`A=(a=b)/(2) h`

a = base 1 (20)

b = base 2 (40)

h = height (16)

now we plug in the values

`A=(40+20)/(2) 16\\40+20=60\\(60)/(2) =30\\30*16=480`

so the area of the trapezoid is 480

The next step is to find the area of the triangle

To do so we use this formula

`A=(hb)/(2)`

h = height (16)

b = base (20)

now we just plug in the values

`A=(16*20)/(2) \\16*20=320\\(320)/(2)=160\\`

The area of the triangle is 160
