Question

If all angles are right angles in the figure below, what is the total area of the figure?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

The answer is $164\ $in^{2}$$ .

To get the area, you would need to find the missing sides. Since the horizontal top is inches total, the bottom must be inches total. Thus you would subtract to get for the missing bottom horizontal side.

The vertical right side is inches total. Then you would subtract to get for the missing vertical side.

Then you would have to split the figure into 3 different boxes and find the area of each one. Then you would add the area of each box

$(32+60+72)=164\ in ^{2}$

Question

If the height of the parallelogram is half of the length of the rectangle, then find the area of the shaded region in the figure.

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

In order to find the area of the shaded region, we must first find the areas of the rectangle and parallelogram.

Recall how to find the area of a rectangle:

$\text{Area of Rectangle}$=$\text{length}$\times$\text{width}$

Substitute in the given length and height to find the area of the rectangle.

$$\text{Area of Rectangle}$=8 \times 14$

$$\text{Area of Rectangle}$=112$

Next, find the area of the parallelogram.

Recall how to find the area of a parallelogram:

$\text{Area of Parallelogram}$=$\text{base}$\times$\text{height}$

We need to find the height of the parallelogram. From the question, we know the following relationship:

$$\text{height}$=\frac{\text{length}$}{2}$

Substitute in the length of the rectangle to find the height of the parallelogram.

$\text{height}$=\frac{8}{2}$

$$\text{height}$=4$

Now, substitute in the height and the given length of the base to find the area of the parallelogram.

$$\text{Area of Parallelogram}$=10 \times 4$

$$\text{Area of Parallelogram}$=40$

Now, we are ready to find the area of the shaded region by subtracting the area of the parallelogram from the area of the rectangle.

$\text{Area of Shaded Region}$=$\text{Area of Rectangle}$-$\text{Area of Parallelogram}$

$$\text{Area of Shaded Region}$=112-40$
