Find the area of the shaded portion in figure 3.

Solution:

Area of the parallelogram ABCD = Base × Height = 40 × 30 = 1200 cm²

Area of triangle AEB = 1/2 × Base × Height m² = 1/2 × 40 × 30 = 600 cm²

Area of the shaded region = 1200 - 600 m² = 600 cm²

✦ Try This: Find the area of the shaded portion

Area of the parallelogram ABCD = Base × Height = 50 × 20 = 1000 cm²

Area of triangle AEB = 1/2 × Base × Height m² = 1/2 × 50 × 20 = 500 cm²

Area of the shaded region = 1000 - 500 m² = 500 cm²
