Question

What is the area, in square centimeters, of the shaded part of the rectangle below?

Answer 1

probably it

Explanation:

First, get the area of the rectangle then subtract the triangle, the result will be the shaded area:

area rec = 18 * 11

area rec = 198 cm²

small side of tri = 11 - 5

small side of tri = 6 cm

area tri = (height * width) / 2

area tri = (6 * 18) / 2

area tri = 108 / 2

area tri = 54 cm²

area shaded = 198 - 54

area shaded = 144 cm²
