Draw a straight line from the top left corner of square Y to the bottom right corner.
You have now divided the shaded area into two triangles.
The smaller triangle has a height equal to length of square Y (9cm).
It has a base equal to the difference between the length of square Y and X.
Difference in length of square X and Y
= 9cm - 6cm
= 3cm
Area of smaller triangle
= ½ x 3cm x 9cm
= ½ x 27cm²
= 13½ cm²
The bigger triangle also has a height equal to length of square Y (9cm).
It has a base equal to the length of square Z (12cm)
Area of bigger triangle
= ½ x 12cm x 9cm
= 6cm x 9cm
= 54cm²
Total area of shaded parts
= 54cm² + 13½ cm²
= 67½cm²
