Question

PLEASE HELP a right triangle is removed from a rectangle to create the shaded region shown below. Find the area of the shaded region.

Answer 1

56m²

Explanation:

First, find the area of the entire rectangle:

10 × 8 = 80

Then, find the area of the triangle:

1/2(6)(8) = 24

Finally, subtract the two areas to find the shaded area:

80 - 24 = 56
