Find the area of the shaded region.

the outter shape is a rectangle and the inside shape is a triangle everything but the triangle is shaded now the numbers are 18 (on left side of rectangle) and 28 (on the bottom) the wide part of the triangle on the inside of the rectangle is on the bottom

To find the area of the shaded region, we need to subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the rectangle.

First, let's find the area of the rectangle. The length of the rectangle is given as 18, and the width is given as 28. So, the area of the rectangle is:

Area of rectangle = length × width = 18 × 28 = 504 square units.

Next, let's find the area of the triangle. Since the wide part of the triangle is on the bottom, we can see that the base of the triangle is 28 (same as the width of the rectangle). The height of the triangle is not given, so we need more information to find the area.

If you can provide the height of the triangle, I can help you calculate the area of the shaded region.

To find the area of the shaded region, we can start by calculating the area of the entire rectangle and then subtracting the area of the triangle.

First, let's find the area of the rectangle. We are given the length and width of the rectangle as 18 and 28, respectively. The formula for the area of a rectangle is A = length × width. In this case, the area of the rectangle is 18 × 28 = 504 square units.

Next, let's find the area of the triangle. The triangle is formed by the shallow side at the bottom of the rectangle. We need to find the height and base of the triangle.

Since the width of the rectangle is the same as the base of the triangle, we can use 28 as the base. The height of the triangle is not given, but we can determine it by subtracting the width of the bottom part of the triangle from the overall height of the rectangle.

The overall height of the rectangle is 18, and the width of the bottom part of the triangle is not given. Therefore, we need extra information to calculate the height of the triangle accurately.
