Find the area of the shaded part in the given figure.

• A. $139$ sq. cm
• B. $118$ sq. cm
• C. $126$ sq. cm
• D. $152$ sq. cm

Answer 1

The correct option is B $118$ sq. cm

Area of larger rectangle$=(22\times 8)$ sq. cm
$=176$sq. cm
Area of unshaded rectangle$=(7\times 6)$sq. cm
$=42$sq. cm
Area of square$=(4\times 4)$sq. cm$=16$sq. cm
$\therefore$ Area of shaded region $=176$sq. cm$-(42+16)$ sq. cm
$=118$sq. cm.
