Question

What is the area of the shaded region in the figure below

Answer 1

4 cm^2

Explanation:

2 x 2 x 0.5 x 2 = 4 cm^2

Answer 2

Hi there!

`\huge\boxed{4 \text{ cm}^(2)}`

Find the area of the shaded area using the given dimensions:

The shaded area is divided up into two triangles, each with a base of 2 cm and a height of 2 cm. Use the following equation to solve for area:

A = 1/2(bh)

A = 1/2(2 · 2)

A = 1/2(4) = 2 cm²

There are two triangles, therefore:

2 × 2 = 4 cm²
