1)  

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



2)  

The figure below is made up of 4 squares of side 12cm each.

Find the area of the shaded parts.

Answer: 144cm2


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



3)  

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



4)  

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



5)  

The figure below is made up of 4 squares of side 7cm each.

Find the area of the shaded parts.

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



6)  

The figure below is made up of 6 squares of side 3cm each. 

Find the area of the shaded parts. 

Answer: 18cm2


SOLUTION 1 :
3cm               

 

 

 3cm

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

Step 2: Height of BC → 3cm + 3cm + 3cm = 9cm

Step 3: Area of triangle ABE → 12 x 6cm x 9cm = 27cm2

Step 4: Area of triangle ABF → 12 x 6cm x 3cm = 9cm2

Step 5: Area of shaded parts → 27cm2 - 9cm2 = 18cm2



7)  

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

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

 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



10)  

The figure below is made up of 6 squares of side 8cm each.

Answer: 64cm2


SOLUTION 1 :
8cm               

 

 

 8cm

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 


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


Step 2: Height of BC → 8cm + 8cm + 8cm = 24cm
