Question

How do I find the area of this shaded polygon?

Answer 1

Find the area of the triangle which is 1/2 * base * height
Find the area of the rectangle (length * width)
subtract the triangles area from the rectangles area to give you the remaining shaded areas value

Answer 2

ok so the rectangle area is 21x34=714
so is the triangle area 31x16/2=272?

Answer 3

base would be 34, it appears the triangle stretches the width of the rectangle.

Answer 4

you wrote it wrong but did the problem right

Answer 5

oops yeah meant 34.
so then just take 714-272 and 442u^2 is the answer?
