First you would work out the area of the rectangle (70cm), then work out the area of the triangle (2x4 divided by 2= 4cm) and finally you would subtract the area of the triangle from the rectangle (70-4= 66cm) I think

Answer:

66 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the shaded region = Area of the rectangle - Area of the triangle

Area of the rectangle = Length * Breadth

                                    [tex]=10cm*7cm\\[/tex]

                                    =[tex]70cm[/tex]²

Area of the triangle= 1/2 * (length of base)*(length of the perpendicular height)

                                =[tex]1/2*4cm*2cm[/tex]

                                =[tex]4cm\\[/tex]²

Area of the shaded region = [tex]70cm[/tex]²-[tex]4cm[/tex]²=[tex]66cm[/tex]²

So the area of the shaded region is [tex]66cm[/tex]²
