Answer:

Area of shaded rectangle = 42 cm²

55%

Explanation:

The length of the shaded area is equal to the length of the white rectangle.

Therefore, length of shaded rectangle = 7 cm

The width of the shaded rectangle is equal to the length of the white rectangle minus two widths of the white rectangle.

Therefore, width = 7 - (2 x 0.5) = 6 cm

Area of shaded rectangle = width x length

= 6 x 7

= 42 cm²

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Perimeter of a square = 4 × side length

If the perimeter of the square is 40 cm,
then the side length = 40 ÷ 4 = 10 cm

Area of a square = side length x side length

⇒ area of this square = 10 x 10 = 100 cm²

To determine the shaded area, calculate the areas of the 2 white triangles and subtract these from the area of the square.

Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height

⇒ area of left triangle = 1/2 x (10 - 7) x 10 = 15 cm²

⇒ area of right triangle = 1/2 x 10 x (10 - 4) = 30 cm²

Therefore, shaded area = 100 - 15 - 30 = 55 cm²

To calculate the percentage, divide the shaded area by the area of the square and multiply by 100:

(55 ÷ 100) × 100% = 55%
