Question

So I'm doing my home work and I can't figure out these two problems they are find the area of shaded region the base is 8ft the height is 6ft but then there is a square in the middle and it says base for square 3ft and height for square 3ft what do I do

Answer 1

Do you have a picture?

Answer 2

Is the shaded area, the big square minus the little square?

Answer 3

I don't know how do I post pic

Answer 4

So do u have idea

Answer 5

These two triangles are equal to each other. So you have calculate the shaded area (with the little square)\[8ft*6ft=48ft^2\]
So now you need to subtract the little square:
\[3ft*3ft=9ft^2\]
So the shaded area is: \[48ft^2-9ft^2=?\]
