The area of shaded rectangle is 8/3 square units.
To find the area of shaded rectangle.
What is rectangle?
A rectangle is a type of quadrilateral that has its parallel sides equal to each other and all the four vertices are equal to 90 degrees.
Given that:
length=4 units
width= 1-unit
The rectangle is subdivided into 3 parts parallely.so 1 units is unshaded and rest are shaded.
Area of rectangle =length*width
Area of bigger rectangle =length*width
=4*1 square units
=4 square units
width is subdivided into 3 parts .
so, 1/3,1/3,1/3 are the width.
Area of un shaded rectangle=length*width
=4*1/3 square units
=4/3 square units
so, Area of bigger rectangle=Area of un-shaded rectangle+ Area of shaded rectangle
4 =4/3+Area of shaded rectangle
Area of shaded rectangle=4-4/3
Area of shaded rectangle=12-4/3
Area of shaded rectangle=8/3 square units
Therefore, the area of shaded rectangle=8/3 square units.
