please help first one correct gets barlyest

Answer 1

shaded region = 10 m squared

Explanation:

Area square = 6x6 = 36 Area reatangle 4x2 = 8

both areas = 44

Now lets subtract some white parts to obtain the shaded parts

1/2 of 4x6 = 12

1/2 of 6x6 = 18

1/2 of 4x2 =4

12+18+4= 34

44-34 = 10

Answer 2

`10 \: { \: m}^(2)`

Explanation:

area of the shaded region = Area of triangle formed in rectangle with base (10 - 6 = 4) 4m and height 2 m + Area of triangle formed in square with base 2 m and height 6 m

`= (1)/(2) * 4 * 2 +(1)/(2) * 2* 6 \\ \\ = 4+6 \\ \\ = 10 \: { \: m}^(2)`
