Question

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

A picture of a rectangle is shown. The bottom of the rectangle is labeled 16 ft. The right side of the rectangle is labeled 8 ft. At the bottom left side of the rectangle there is a label that reads 2 ft. Inside the rectangle is a shaded region. The bottom of the region is labeled 8 ft and this side is perpendicular to the left side of the rectangle. The right side of the shaded region has a perpendicular line segment extending upward that is labeled 2 ft.

Answer 9

i've seen this problem before, it's asking for the unshaded area

Answer 10

you want to divide the shaded area into easy shapes (like rectangles and triangles) to find the area of

Answer 11

and shaded area

Answer 12

what's the area of the triangle if the height is 3 and the base is 10

Answer 13

30

Answer 14

not quite

Answer 15

it's a triangle so

Answer 16

15

Answer 17

good

Answer 18

Answer 20

@Vocaloid ??

Answer 21

10???

Answer 22

good

now, we move on to the last rectangle

Answer 23

k

Answer 24

Answer 25

8

Answer 26

is that right or nah

Answer 27

Answer 28

16

Answer 29

good

so,

shaded = the sum of those three numbers we found earlier

Answer 30

= 15 + 10 + 16 = 41

Answer 31

for unshaded, we subtract

area of the whole rectangle - shaded

Answer 32

k

Answer 33

the whole rectangle is

16 by 8, giving us an area of 128

so unshaded = 128 - 41

Answer 34

87

Answer 35

good, that's it

Answer 36

Thank u so MUCH
