Answer 1

Given

The figure,

To find the area of the shaded figure.

Explanation:

It is given that,

That implies,

$\begin{gathered} Area\text{ of the shaded figure}=Area\text{ of rectangle ABCD}+Area\text{ of triangle BEF} \\ =(l\times b)+\frac{1}{2}(b\times h) \\ =8\times6+\frac{1}{2}\times4\times5 \\ =48+10 \\ =58 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the area of the shaded figure is 58 sq. units.
