Can You Find the Area of Shaded Regions?

• The area of the shaded region is found by subtracting the area of the unshaded region from the total area of the polygon.
• This applies to polygons with shaded regions in the center or on the sides.
• The formula to find the area of the shaded region is: area of outer shape - area of unshaded inner shape.
• Examples are provided for finding the area of shaded regions in triangles, rectangles, squares, and composite shapes.
• To find the area of a triangle, use the formula 1/2bh.
• To find the area of a rectangle, use the formula lw.
• To find the area of a square, use the formula s^2.
• Similar triangles can be used to find missing measurements.
• The area of a hexagon can be found using the formula A=(L^2n)/(4tan(180/n)).
• The key steps to finding the area of the shaded region are identifying the outer and inner shapes and applying the appropriate formula.
