1)  

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

Find on the area of the shaded parts.

Answer: 25cm2


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


            Height of FG = Length of AB


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


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



2)  

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

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



3)  

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



4)  

The figure below is made up of 6 squares of side 9cm each. 

Find on the area of the shaded parts.

Answer: 81cm2


SOLUTION 1 :
9cm               

 

 

 9cm

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 


Step 1: Length of AB → 9cm + 9cm = 18cm


Step 2: Height of BC → 9cm + 9cm + 9cm = 27cm


Step 3: Area of triangle ABE → 12 x 18cm x 27cm = 243cm2


            Height of FG = Length of AB


Step 4: Area of triangle ABF → 12 x 18cm x 18cm = 162cm2


Step 5: Area of shaded parts → 243cm2 - 162cm2 = 81cm2



5)  

The figure below is made up of 6 squares of side 2cm each. 

Find the area of the shaded parts. 

Answer: 8cm2


SOLUTION 1 :
2cm               

 

 

 2cm

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 1: Length of AB → 2cm + 2cm = 4cm

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

Step 3: Area of triangle ABE → 12 x 4cm x 6cm = 12cm2

Step 4: Area of triangle ABF → 12 x 4cm x 2cm = 4cm2

Step 5: Area of shaded parts → 12cm2 - 4cm2 = 8cm2



6)  

The figure below is made up of 4 squares of side 6cm each.

Find the area of the shaded parts.

Answer: 36cm2


SOLUTION 1 :
6cm               

 

 

 6cm

 

 

 

 

 

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

Step 2: Height of DC → 6cm + 6cm = 12cm

Step 3: Area of triangle ADE → 12 x 12cm x 6cm = 36cm2

            Height of FG = Length of AD

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

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



7)  

The figure below is made up of 6 squares of side 4cm each. 

Find on the area of the shaded parts.

Answer: 16cm2


SOLUTION 1 :
4cm               

 

 

 4cm

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 


Step 1: Length of AB → 4cm + 4cm = 8cm


Step 2: Height of BC → 4cm + 4cm + 4cm = 12cm


Step 3: Area of triangle ABE → 12 x 8cm x 12cm = 48cm2


            Height of FG = Length of AB


Step 4: Area of triangle ABF → 12 x 8cm x 8cm = 32cm2


Step 5: Area of shaded parts → 48cm2 - 32cm2 = 16cm2



8)

Answer: 49cm2


SOLUTION 1 :
7cm               

 

 

 7cm

 

 

 

 

 

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

Step 2: Height of DC → 7cm + 7cm = 14cm

Step 3: Area of triangle ADE → 12 x 14cm x 7cm = 49cm2

            Height of FG = Length of AD

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

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



10)
