B) 40 square units

C) 20 square units

D) 36 square units

Answer 1

if u think of it this way
8*4=32 it has to be smaller than that so my best guess would be
C) 20 square units

Answer 2

20 square units

Explanation:

We need to find the area of not shaded region of the given figure

First we find the area of the not shaded part using the area of the triangle formula

Area of thee triangle = 1/2 * base * height

Base of the not shaded triangle = 5

Height of the triangle = 8

So area of the not shaded triangle =
`(1)/(2) * 5* 8= 20`

Area = 20 square units
