rect. = 15 x 21 = 315

unshaded = 0.5 x 12 x 15 = 90

shaded = 315 - 90 = ?

u mean to ask
the perpendicular height of the unshaded triangle is 15cm, isnt it?

ans: yes

the height of unshaded triangle is measured from ZY to VW perpendicularly,
which happens to be equal to WX

YW is not equal WX

Hi, area of triangle, the height is the perpendicular height with it base. Hence, for this question, height is equal to WX or VZ = 15. The base is ZY = 12. Hope this helps.
