Find the area of the shaded region.

a. 36 square units
b. 32 square units
c. 17 square units
d. 16 square units

D. 16 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of right angle triangle = (base*height)/2

Area of triangle with base = 5+4=9 and height = 8

square units

Area of triangle with base = 5 and height = 8

square units

Now subtracting the smaller area from larger area, we get the area of shaded portion.

Area = square units.
