The area of the shaded portion of the figure in cm2 is:
We name the given figure as shown.In the given figure ΔABC & ΔDEB are right triangles.AC=2cm, BE=2cm & CE=4cm.∴ BC=BE+CE=(4+2)cm=6cm.So arΔABC=12×BC×AC=12×6×2cm2=6cm2.Similarly ΔDEB=12×BE×DE=12×2×1cm2=1cm2.∴ ar.shaded portion ACED=arΔABC−arΔDEB.=(6−1)cm2=5cm2.Ans− ar.shaded portion ACED is 5 cm2.
