Answer:

27.71 square units

Explanation:

The shaded region is a triangle;

Area of a triangle = 1/s * base * height

base = 16/2 = 8

To get the height, you will use the pythagoras theorem

h^2 = 8^2 - 4^2

h^2 = 64 - 16

h^2 = 48

h = 6.93

Area of the shaded region = 1/2 * 8 * 6.93

Area of the shaded region = 4 * 6.93

Area of the shaded region = 27.71 square units
