The area of a triangle can be found by using the formula A = bh/2

To find the area of the shaded region (the green section), we can find the area of both triangles and subtract.

Large triangle:

A = 28*36/2

A = 1008/2

A = 504km²

Small triangle:

A = 15*19/2

A = 285/2

A = 142.5km²

Subtract both triangles:

504 - 142.5 = 361.5km²

Therefore, the area of the shaded region is 361.5km²

Best of Luck!
