1)  

The figure below is made up of 4 squares of side 11cm each.

Find the area of the shaded parts.

Answer: 121cm2


SOLUTION 1 :
11cm               

 

 

 11cm

 

 

 

 

 

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

Step 2: Height of DC → 11cm + 11cm = 22cm

Step 3: Area of triangle ADE → 12 x 22cm x 11cm = 121cm2

            Height of FG = Length of AD

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

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



2)  

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



3)  

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



4)  

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



5)  

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



6)  

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



7)  

The figure below is made up of 4 squares of side 10cm each.

Find the area of the shaded parts.

Answer: 100cm2


SOLUTION 1 :
10cm               

 

 

 10cm

 

 

 

 

 

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

Step 2: Height of DC → 10cm + 10cm = 20cm

Step 3: Area of triangle ADE → 12 x 20cm x 10cm = 100cm2

            Height of FG = Length of AD

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

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

 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



10)
