Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Base of triangle = length of the rectangle
Since, all are identical rectangles,
Length of a rectangle= 36/2 = 18 cm
Base of triangle = 18 cm
Height of triangle = length of the rectangle + width of the rectangle
Width of 6 rectangles = 36
Width of 1 rectangle = 36/ 6 = 6 cm
Height of the triangle = 18 + 6 = 24 cm
Area of the shaded triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}base*height[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{2}*18*24[/tex]
= 9 * 24
= 216 cm²
