Answer:
96 sq. inch
Step-by-step explanation:
rectangle has 24 inches × 8 inches dimensions
Hence, Area of Rectangle,
A1=24×8
=192 sq. inch
We, know triangle with base 24 inches and height 8 inches has area exactly half of the rectangle's.
ie. A2=½(24×8)
=96 sq. inch
This was for unshaded region. Then remaining half area is for shaded region.
A1-A2=A
ie. 192-96=96 sq. inch
