48

Answer 1

Answer: 24 square units

Explanation:

It appears the shaded area of the rectangle is half of the rectangle's area. This means if we find the area of the rectangle and divide it by 2 we will know the area of the shaded portion.

The formula for the area of a rectangle is
`lw=A`

Where

l is the length (8 for this)

w is the width (6 for this)

A is the area

However, since we are finding half the area we will divide lw by 2

Sub the values into the formula

`(lw)/(2) =A\\((8)(6))/(2) =A\\(48)/(2) =A\\24=A`
