1)  

The figure below is made up of 6 squares of side 7cm each. 

Find the area of the shaded parts. 

Answer: 98cm2


SOLUTION 1 :
7cm               

 

 

 7cm

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 1: Length of AB → 7cm + 7cm = 14cm

Step 2: Height of BC → 7cm + 7cm + 7cm = 21cm

Step 3: Area of triangle ABE → 12 x 14cm x 21cm = 147cm2

Step 4: Area of triangle ABF → 12 x 14cm x 7cm = 49cm2

Step 5: Area of shaded parts → 147cm2 - 49cm2 = 98cm2



2)  

The figure below is made up of 4 squares of side 5cm each.

Find the area of the shaded parts.

Answer: 25cm2


SOLUTION 1 :
5cm               

 

 

 5cm

 

 

 

 

 

Step 1: Length of AB → 5cm + 5cm = 10cm

Step 2: Height of DC → 5cm + 5cm = 10cm

Step 3: Area of triangle ADE → 12 x 10cm x 5cm = 25cm2

            Height of FG = Length of AD

Step 4: Area of triangle ADF → 12 x 10cm x 10cm = 50cm2

Step 5: Area of shaded parts → 50cm2 - 25cm2 = 25cm2



3)  

The figure below is made up of 6 squares of side 10cm each. 

Find on the area of the shaded parts.

Answer: 100cm2


SOLUTION 1 :
10cm               

 

 

 10cm

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 


Step 1: Length of AB → 10cm + 10cm = 20cm


Step 2: Height of BC → 10cm + 10cm + 10cm = 30cm


Step 3: Area of triangle ABE → 12 x 20cm x 30cm = 300cm2


            Height of FG = Length of AB


Step 4: Area of triangle ABF → 12 x 20cm x 20cm = 200cm2


Step 5: Area of shaded parts → 300cm2 - 200cm2 = 100cm2



4)

Find the area of the shaded parts. 

Answer: 200cm2


SOLUTION 1 :
10cm               

 

 

 10cm

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 1: Length of AB → 10cm + 10cm = 20cm

Step 2: Height of BC → 10cm + 10cm + 10cm = 30cm

Step 3: Area of triangle ABE → 12 x 20cm x 30cm = 300cm2

Step 4: Area of triangle ABF → 12 x 20cm x 10cm = 100cm2

Step 5: Area of shaded parts → 300cm2 - 100cm2 = 200cm2



5)  

The figure below is made up of 4 squares of side 3cm each.

Find the area of the shaded parts.

Answer: 9cm2


SOLUTION 1 :
3cm               

 

 

 3cm

 

 

 

 

 

Step 1: Length of AB → 3cm + 3cm = 6cm

Step 2: Height of DC → 3cm + 3cm = 6cm

Step 3: Area of triangle ADE → 12 x 6cm x 3cm = 9cm2

            Height of FG = Length of AD

Step 4: Area of triangle ADF → 12 x 6cm x 6cm = 18cm2

Step 5: Area of shaded parts → 18cm2 - 9cm2 = 9cm2



6)  

The figure below is made up of 6 squares of side 6cm each. 

Find on the area of the shaded parts.

Answer: 36cm2


SOLUTION 1 :
6cm               

 

 

 6cm

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 


Step 1: Length of AB → 6cm + 6cm = 12cm


Step 2: Height of BC → 6cm + 6cm + 6cm = 18cm


Step 3: Area of triangle ABE → 12 x 12cm x 18cm = 108cm2


            Height of FG = Length of AB


Step 4: Area of triangle ABF → 12 x 12cm x 12cm = 72cm2


Step 5: Area of shaded parts → 108cm2 - 72cm2 = 36cm2



7)

Answer: 242cm2


SOLUTION 1 :
11cm               

 

 

 11cm

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 1: Length of AB → 11cm + 11cm = 22cm

Step 2: Height of BC → 11cm + 11cm + 11cm = 33cm

Step 3: Area of triangle ABE → 12 x 22cm x 33cm = 363cm2

Step 4: Area of triangle ABF → 12 x 22cm x 11cm = 121cm2

Step 5: Area of shaded parts → 363cm2 - 121cm2 = 242cm2
