Find the area of the shaded figure

19 squared units

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the figure, you can simply count the number of squares that are shaded. I counted a total of 19 squares, meaning that the total area of the shaded figure is 19 units squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of one square = 1 square unit.

Count the number of squares.

Area of the shaded figure = 19 square unit

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2
