Answer:
Area of shaded part = 72 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Length of shaded part = 6 + 6 = 12 in
Width of shaded part = 4 + 4 = 8 in
Height of triangle = 4 in
Find:
Area of shaded part
Computation:
Area of shaded part = Area of shaded rectangle - Area of triangle
Area of shaded part = (12 × 8) - (1/2)(4)(12)
Area of shaded part = 96 - 24
Area of shaded part = 72 in²
