Question

Find the area of the shaded region.
40 ft
16 ft
14 ft
10 ft

Answer 1

Area = 780 ft²

Explanation:

Area of the shaded region = area of rectangle A + area of rectangle B

Area of rectangle A = L*W

L = 40 ft

W = 16 ft

Area of rectangle A = 40*16 = 640 ft²

Area of rectangle B = L*W

L = 10 ft

W = 14 ft

Area of rectangle B = 10*14 = 140 ft²

Area of the shaded region = 640 + 140 = 780 ft²
