Answer:
a.) 36cm²
b.) 12cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the area of the triangles, we can use the formula 1/2(base x height)
1/2(4x6) = 12
In order to find the area of the shaded region, we must first find the area of the entire rectangle, which can be found with the formula (length x width)
6 x 10 = 60
Next, we can subtract the areas of both triangles from our answer
60 - 12 - 12 = 36
