Question

Find the area of the shaded region

Answer 1

Area of the shaded region=
`500inch^2`

Explanation:

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

Dimensions of the triangle:

Base= 40 inch

Height= 40 inch

Area of a triangle=
`(1)/(2)*Base*Height`

`=(1)/(2)*40*40\\\\ =(1)/(2) *1600\\\\=800 inch^2`

Area of the rectangle= Length*Width

Length=30 inch

Width=10 inch

Area:

`= 30*10\\\\=300 inch^2`

Area of the shaded region=
`800-300= 500 inch^2`
