Question

What is the area , in square meters of the shaded part of the rectangle below

Answer 1

123.5 m^2

Explanation:

The area of the whole rectangle is 9 x 19 = 171 m^2

The area of the region that isn't shaded is (5 x 19)/2 = 47.5 m^2 because the height of the triangle is 5 (9 - 4) and the area of a triangle is

(height x length)/2

171 - 47.5 = 123.5 m^2
