In the figure, side of each square is 1 cm. The area,

in square cm, of the shaded part is
Given:

Side of each square = 1 cm

Formula used:

Area of triangle = 1/2 x Base x Height

Calculations:

The shaded part of the above figure is

given below,

AP

B
We can divide the shaded part in AABC
and ABCD,

AB 3 cm, BC 4 cm
Height of ABCD =
2 cm

Area of AABC = (1/2) x AB x BC

(1/2) x 3x4

6 cm2
Area of ABCD = (1/2) x BC x Height
of ABCD

(1/2) x 4x2
