Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the Shaded region = area of the Trapezoid - Area of the triangle
Area of the Trapezoid
b1 = 14
b2 = 26
h = 15
Area = (b1 + b2 ) * h / 2
Area = (14 + 26) * 15/2
Area = 40 * 15/2
Area = 300 in^2
Area of the triangle
Area = 1/2 b * h
b = 26
h = 15 - 6
h = 9
Area = 1/2 * 26 * 9
Area = 117 in^2
Area of the shaded region
Area of the shaded region = 300 - 117
Area of shaded region = 183
