Question

Find the area of the shaded region.

Answer 1

Area of the shaded region =
`100 inch ^2`

Explanation:

Area of the Shaded region= Area of rectangle - Area of the triangle

Area of the rectangle= Length * breadth

`Length= 20 inch`
`Breadth= 10 inch`

Putting the values in the formula

Area of the rectangle :

`20 * 10\\\\ =200 square inches`

Area of the Triangle =
`(1)/(2) * Base*Height`

Base of triangle= 20 inches , Height of the triangle = 10 inches

Area of triangle
`Area=(1)/(2) *20*10\\\\=100 inch^2`

Area of the shade region:

`= 200-100\\ = 100 inch^2`
