Answer:

97.5 sq. ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Im presuming the question asks to find area of the shaded region.

First of all, the total figure is a rectangle. We can write an expression(in words) for the shaded area.

Shaded Area = Area of Rectangle - Area of Small Triangle(White) - Area of Large Triangle(White)

Now, we find respective areas.

Area of rectangle:

length * width = (5+10) * (12) = 15 * 12 = 180

Area of Small Triangle (white):

A = (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 5 * (12-3) = (1/2) * 5 * 9 = 22.5

Area of Large Triangle (white):

A = (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 10 * (12) = 60

Now, we find area of shaded region:

Shaded Area = Area of Rectangle - Area of Small Triangle(White) - Area of Large Triangle(White)

Shaded Area = 180 - 22.5 - 60 = 97.5 sq. ft.

Answer:

97.5 sq. ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the given diagram with given measurements.

The area of the shaded portion is to be determined.

Now, we have to first find the area of the two right triangles formed at the left and right sides.

We know that the area of a right triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2} \times (\textrm {Base})\times (\textrm {Height})[/tex]

Then the area of the left side triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times (12 - 3) = 22.5[/tex] sq. ft.

Now, the are of the right side triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 12 = 60[/tex] sq. ft.

Now, the area of non-shaded region = Total are of the two right triangles  

= (60 + 22.5) = 82.5 sq. ft.

Therefore, the area of the shaded region is = (Area of the total rectangle - Area of the non-shaded region)

= [(10 + 5) × 12] - 82.5

= 97.5 sq. ft. (Answer)
