1)  

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

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



2)  

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

Find on the area of the shaded parts.

Answer: 49cm2


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


            Height of FG = Length of AB


Step 4: Area of triangle ABF → 12 x 14cm x 14cm = 98cm2


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



3)  

The figure below is made up of 4 squares of side 8cm each.

Find the area of the shaded parts.

Answer: 64cm2


SOLUTION 1 :
8cm               

 

 

 8cm

 

 

 

 

 

Step 1: Length of AB → 8cm + 8cm = 16cm

Step 2: Height of DC → 8cm + 8cm = 16cm

Step 3: Area of triangle ADE → 12 x 16cm x 8cm = 64cm2

            Height of FG = Length of AD

Step 4: Area of triangle ADF → 12 x 16cm x 16cm = 128cm2

Step 5: Area of shaded parts → 128cm2 - 64cm2 = 64cm2



4)  

The figure below is made up of 6 squares of side 5cm each. 

Find the area of the shaded parts. 

Answer: 50cm2


SOLUTION 1 :
5cm               

 

 

 5cm

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

Step 2: Height of BC → 5cm + 5cm + 5cm = 15cm

Step 3: Area of triangle ABE → 12 x 10cm x 15cm = 75cm2

Step 4: Area of triangle ABF → 12 x 10cm x 5cm = 25cm2

Step 5: Area of shaded parts → 75cm2 - 25cm2 = 50cm2



5)  

The figure below is made up of 6 squares of side 12cm each. 

Find on the area of the shaded parts.

Answer: 144cm2


SOLUTION 1 :
12cm               

 

 

 12cm

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 


Step 1: Length of AB → 12cm + 12cm = 24cm


Step 2: Height of BC → 12cm + 12cm + 12cm = 36cm


Step 3: Area of triangle ABE → 12 x 24cm x 36cm = 432cm2


            Height of FG = Length of AB


Step 4: Area of triangle ABF → 12 x 24cm x 24cm = 288cm2


Step 5: Area of shaded parts → 432cm2 - 288cm2 = 144cm2



6)  

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



7)

Find the area of the shaded parts. 

Answer: 288cm2


SOLUTION 1 :
12cm               

 

 

 12cm

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 1: Length of AB → 12cm + 12cm = 24cm

Step 2: Height of BC → 12cm + 12cm + 12cm = 36cm

Step 3: Area of triangle ABE → 12 x 24cm x 36cm = 432cm2

Step 4: Area of triangle ABF → 12 x 24cm x 12cm = 144cm2

Step 5: Area of shaded parts → 432cm2 - 144cm2 = 288cm2

Answer: 121cm2


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


            Height of FG = Length of AB


Step 4: Area of triangle ABF → 12 x 22cm x 22cm = 242cm2


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

SOLUTION 1 :
12cm               

 

 

 12cm

 

 

 

 

 

Step 1: Length of AB → 12cm + 12cm = 24cm

Step 2: Height of DC → 12cm + 12cm = 24cm

Step 3: Area of triangle ADE → 12 x 24cm x 12cm = 144cm2

            Height of FG = Length of AD

Step 4: Area of triangle ADF → 12 x 24cm x 24cm = 288cm2

Step 5: Area of shaded parts → 288cm2 - 144cm2 = 144cm2



10)
