Question

Where can I find the shaded area of this diagram?

Answer 1

To find the area of the figure, we divide it into two rectangles as follows:

And we find the area of each rectangle, which is given by:

`\begin{gathered} A=b\cdot h \\ \text{where b = base and h = height} \end{gathered}`

Area rectangle 1:

`A=3\cdot10=30m^2`

Area rectangle 2:

`A=4\cdot6=24m^2`

Therefore, the shaded area of the diagram is:

`A=30+24=54m^2`

Answer: 54 m^2
