Area of triangle = (1/2) × Base × Height
Area of bigger triangle = (1/2) × 15 cm × 10 cm
Area of bigger triangle = (1/2) × 150 sq. cm
Area of bigger triangle = 75 sq. cm
Similarly,
Area of smaller triangle = (1/2) × 12 cm × 5 cm
Area of smaller triangle = (1/2) × 60 sq. cm
Area of smaller triangle = 30 sq. cm
Area of shaded region = Area of bigger triangle - Area of smaller triangle
Area of shaded region = 75 sq. cm - 30 sq. cm
Area of shaded region = 45 sq. cm
Answer :
Area of shaded region in sq. cm = 45
