curious on what you have tried ... its just subtraction to me

OpenStudy (amistre64):

(area of triangle) - (area of rectangle) = (shaded area)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

No. Do you know how to find the area of a triangle?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

I think you may be misinterpreting the lengths of the sides of the triangle. |dw:1415046994393:dw|
