Question

Find the area of the shape shown below.

Answer 1

this looks like a rectangle with a right triangle cut out of it.

first we need the area of the rectangle (w*h).

4*8 = 32

32 - the area of the right triangle

triangle area = (wh)/2

4-2 (to find the smallest side of right triangle) = 2

and 8-4 (to find second largest side of right triangle) = 4

4*2 = 8

and 8/2 = 4

32 - 4 = 28

hope this was correct and it helped
