A shape is made up with a square and a rectangle if the square's height is 7m and the rectangles height is 3 the base of both combined is 16 the area of the shaded region is shaped as a triangle that fills half the rectangle find the area
It sounds like all you need to do is find the area of the rectangle and just divide it by 2.
Area is length times height.
The height = 3
The length = 16 - 7 = 9
Area = 9 × 3 = 27
27/2 = 13.5
13.5 square meters
