PQRS is a rectangle with dimensions 28 m by 20 m. PQQ is a triangle such that O is the point of intersection of the diagonals. Find the area of the shaded region.

Dear Student,
 

Rectangle pqrs and triangle poq have the same base PQ and lie between the parallel SR and PQ

so, ar(POQ)=1/4ar(PQRS)

area of rectangle =l.b

l=20m

b= 28m

=20m.28m

=560sq.m

1/4 ar(PQRS) =1/4.560

=140

area of the shaded region = total rectangle area - triangle area

=560-140

=420

therefore the area of the shaded region equals the 420-meter square

Regards,
Peony Roy.
