What is the area of the shaded figure?

352

Step-by-step explanatioThe shape as you can see is a trapezoid. To find the area of the trapezoid is base 1 + base 2 x height. I multiplied 26 and 16 which made the whole shape 416. Now, we need to take away the white triangle which will show in the end the area of the shaded figure. To find the area of the triangle, you need to do 8x16 then divide by 2. 8 x 16= 128 feet. Then we divide that number by two which equals 64. The area of the unshaded triangle is 64 feet. Finally, we take 416 and subtact 64, which equals 352.

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
