The figure below shows a shaded region and a non-shaded region. Angles in the figure that appear to be right angles are right angles.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the area, in square feet, of the shaded region? What is the area, in square feet, of the non-shaded region?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

i would go with making that shape a tapezoid adding that messing square and then subtract the area of the little square

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

you know what is the area of the trapezoid?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

the unshaded region area would be the big rectangle area subtract the area you founded for the shaded region

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

Area=(a+b)/2 times height
