What is the area of the shaded figure shown below?
Solution 1 (Area Addition)
The line of symmetry divides the shaded figure into two congruent triangles, each with base and height
Therefore, the area of the shaded figure is ~MRENTHUSIASM ~Wilhelm Z
Solution 2 (Area Subtraction)
To find the area of the shaded figure, we subtract the area of the smaller triangle (base and height ) from the area of the larger triangle (base and height ): ~MRENTHUSIASM ~Steven Chen (www.professorchenedu.com)
Solution 3 (Shoelace Theorem)
The consecutive vertices of the shaded figure are and By the Shoelace Theorem, the area is ~Taco12 ~I-AM-DA-KING
Solution 4 (Pick's Theorem)
We have lattice points in the interior and lattice points on the boundary. By Pick's Theorem, the area of the shaded figure is ~danprathab
