Question

Find the area of the shaded polygon:

Answer 1

6 units squared is the answer

Answer 2

6 units squared

Explanation:

To solve this problem you can solve for the entire area of the square and subtract the area of the unfilled areas for the area of the shaded region..

Area of entire square is 4*4=16

Now for the sections that are unfilled:

4*3/2= 6

1*1/2= 0.5

2*1 = 2

1*1 = 0.5

2*1/2 = 1

Total area of Unfilled region = 6 + 0.5 + 2 + 0.5 +1 = 10

Area of filled region = 16 - 10 = 6 units squared

Hope this helped!
