Step-by-step explanation:

P.S: Rectangle attached in image.

According to the image, we can see that 3 rectangles are half shaded.

This means that:

  • Half shaded square + Half shaded square + Half shaded square
  • => 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.5
  • => 1.5 units²

Check:

To check our answer:

  • 3 x 0.5 = Area of rectangle
  • => 1.5 units² = Area of rectangle

Hence, our explanation is correct.
