Question

Find the area of the shaded portion in this figure.

Answer 1

Step1: Given data

Length of the figure is $=\mathbf{6}\mathbf{}\mathbf{\text{cm}}$

Breadth of the given figure is$=\mathbf{4}\mathbf{-}\mathbf{2}\mathbf{=}\mathbf{2}\mathbf{}\mathbf{\text{cm}}$

Step2: Finding the area of the shaded region

1. Given figure is a rectangle.So the area of a rectangle is length multiplied by its breadth.
2. $\mathbf{\text{Area of the shaded region is= length of the figure×breadth of the figure}}$

$\text{Area=6 cm×2 cm=}{\mathbf{\text{12 cm}}}^{\mathbf{2}}$

Thus, the area of the shaded region in the figure is ${\mathbf{\text{12 cm}}}^{\mathbf{2}}$.
