Question

Find the area of the shaded part

Answer 1

26cm²

Explanation:

Alrighty, let's go count squares:

On the top row, there's 4 (adding the halves together), on the second row there's 5, and on the bottom row there's also 4, so we add that all together to get:

4 + 5 + 4 = 13

But, because each square is 2 cm, we have to multiply:

13 x 2 = 26

So, the area of the shaded section is 26cm²

hope this helps:)

Answer 2

Explanation:

the easiest thing to do is to make the half squares which you have 4 into 2 whole squares then base times height

4x3=12
