Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find the area of the WHOLE shape. 16 x 40 = 640

Then split the shaded region into many shape like 2 skinny rectangles, and find the area for the shapes.

256 + 256 = 512

Finally subract the WHOLE shape with the shaded region. 640 - 512 = 128

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

The area of the shaded portion is 512 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

First we calculate the area of the full shape

Area = length × width

Length = 32 + 8 = 40 ft

Width = 8 + 8 = 16 ft

Area = 40 × 16

= 640 ft²

For the unshaded portion

Area = 8 × 8

= 64 ft²

Since we have two unshaded portions in the total shape

We add 64 + 64 = 128 ft²

Therefore the area of the shaded portion = total area of the shape - area of the unshaded portion

= 640 - 128

= 512 ft²
