Calculate the area of the shaded region in each of the figures given below.
Fig. (ii) has uniform width of 3 cm and it is given that AB = CD.

(i) Complete the rectangle as shown below:
    
Area of the shaded region = [Area of rectangle ABCD - Area of rectangle EFGD] sq. units
                                          = [(AB × BC) - (DG × GF)] m2
                                          = [(24 m × 19 m) - {(24 - 4) m × 16.5 m} ]
                                          = [(24 m × 19 m) - (20 m × 16.5) m]
                                          = (456 - 330) m2 = 126 m2

(ii) Complete the rectangle by drawing lines as shown below:
     
Area of the shaded region ={(12 × 3) + (12 × 3) + (5× 3) + {(15 - 3 - 3) ×3)} cm2
                                    = { 36 + 36 + 15 + 27} cm2
                                    = 114 cm2
