anonymous · Answer

wait that wasn't the answer

anonymous · Answer

you had to find the area of square and subtract that from you know

anonymous · Answer

you should have gotten 162 as triangle area and then should have subtracted that from 81 because that is the area of square

anonymous · Answer

so 18x18=324 divided by 2 is 1
62

anonymous · Answer

yes subtract that by 81 that area of square it asking for shaded area

anonymous · Answer

that is answer
