The area of the shaded part of the rectangle is ___ cm

Fill in the blank.

A) 20
B) 60
C) 100
D) 140

Answer 1

C) 100
If you were to split the shaded area into two shapes it would be a rectangle and a triangle. This makes it easier to find the area of the shaded area only.

Rectangle:
Area: 10x6=60

Triangle:
Find length of other side by subtracting
14-6=8
Area: (10x8)/2=40

Lastly add them together:
60+40=100

Answer 2

D

Explanation:

Area is length times width
