Question

Find the area of the shaded portion in the following figure.

Sum

Solution

Area of shaded region = Area of the parallelogram ABCD – Area of ΔABE

∵ Area of a parallelogram = Side × Height

∴ Area of a parallelogram ABCD = 40 × 30 = 1200 cm2

Area of ΔAEB = `1/2 xx AB xx EF`

= `1/2 xx 40 xx 30`

= 600 cm2

∴ Area of shaded region = 1200 – 600 = 600 cm2
