The grid shown below is in the shape of a rectangle. What is the area, in square units, of the shaded part of the rectangle? a 14 b 24 c 28 d 48

The correct answer is B. 24

Explanation:

If you consider the shaded part of the rectangle is a triangle the best way to calculate the area of this is by calculating the total area or space occupied by this triangle. This can be done if you multiply the base by the height and divide the result in 2 or b x h / 2.

6 squares (base) x 8 squares (height) = 48 / 2 = 24 squares

Also, the shaded area is approximately the half area of all the rectangle, in this case, you can calculate the area of the rectangle by multiplying side x side or length by width. This means 6 squares x 8 squares = 48 squares (total area), which divided by 2 (shaded area) is also equal to 24.
