Question

I need to find the area of the shaded region. please give drawing and steps how its done

Answer 1

To find the area of the shade area you:

1. Find the area of the rhomboid that has the next measurements:

Height h: 7cm

Base b: 10cm

Then you use the formula:

`A_R=b\cdot h`

2. Find the area of the rectangle (not shaded) with the next measurements:

Height h:2cm

Base b:3cm

Then you use the formula:

`A_r=b\cdot h`

3. You know that the area of the shaded region is the area of the rhomboid minus the area of the rectangle (not shaded):

`A_S=A_R-A_r`

Then so, the area of the shaded region is 64cm^2
