Question

A composite figure has three congruent triangles removed from it. What is the area of the shaded region?

Answer 1

A.) 96 feet is the correct answer. I took the quiz.

Answer 2

The area of the shaded region is
`96\ ft^(2)`

Explanation:

we know that

The area of the shaded region is equal to the area of the three squares minus the area of the three triangles

so

`A=3(8^(2))-3((1)/(2)(8)(8))= 192- 96=96\ ft^(2)`
