Answer:
Explanation:
The given figure is a right angle triangle. The formula for determining the area of a triangle is expressed as
Area = 1/2 × base × height
Considering the outer triangle,
Base = 33km
Height = 40km
Area = 1/2 × 33 × 40 = 660km²
Considering the inner triangle,
Base = 19km
Height = 23km
Area = 1/2 × 19 × 23 = 218.5km²
The area of the shaded region = Area of outer triangle - area of inner triangle. It becomes
660 - 218.5 = 441.5 km²
