Question

Find the area of the shaded region to the nearest square unit. The base and height of the smaller shaded
right triangle are the same length.

Answer 1

Answer:

123 sq ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of larger triangle + area of smaller triangle

$( \frac{1}{2} \times 14 \times 14) + ( \frac{1}{2} \times 7 \times 7)$

$(7 \times 14) + (3.5 \times 7)$

$98 + 24.5$

$= 122.5 \: sq \: ft$

approx. 123 sq ft
