How to find Area of Shaded Region?

Finding the shaded area typically involves calculating the area of a specific part of a geometric figure, often where one shape is subtracted from another.

Steps to Find the Shaded Area:

1. Identify the Shapes: Determine the geometric shapes involved in the problem. Common shapes include circles, rectangles, triangles, and other polygons.
2. Calculate the Area of the Larger Shape: Find the area of the larger shape (the shape that encompasses the shaded region).
3. Calculate the Area of the Smaller Shape(s): If the shaded area is found by subtracting another shape from the larger shape, calculate the area of the smaller shape(s). Use the appropriate formula(s).
4. Subtract the Smaller Area(s) from the Larger Area: Subtract the area of the smaller shape(s) from the area of the larger shape to find the shaded area.
5. Consider Multiple Regions: If the shaded area consists of multiple regions, sum the areas of those regions.
