Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the rectangle = length * width
= 10 * 5
= 50 m²
Area of the smaller rectangle that is white color = 7 * 2
= 14 m²
Triangle:
base = b = 5 m
Height = h = 16 - 10 = 6 m
Area of triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}*b*h\\[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{1}{2}*5*6\\\\= 5*3\\\\= 15 m^{2}[/tex]
Area of shaded area = area of bigger rectangle - area of smaller rectangle + area of triangle
= 50 - 14 + 15
= 21 m²
