Question

How do I find the area of the non-shaded figure?!?

Answer 1

Answer:

51 cm²

Explanation:

Rectangle = 6x12=72

triangle = 1/2(7)(6)=21

Non-shaded=72-21=51 cm²

Usually, we would subtract the area of a smaller inner shape from the area of a larger outer shape in order to find the area of the shaded region

Answer 2

Explanation:

rectangle = 6x12=72

triangle = 1/2(7)(6)=21

Non-shaded=72-21=51 cm²
