    Find the total area of the shaded parts of the rectangle.

    A)  \[196\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\]

    B)  \[148c{{m}^{2}}\]

    C)  \[200\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\]

    D)  \[184\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     : We have, \[AF=FE=ED=GD=GF=HG=AH\] Now,  \[AF+FE=16\text{ }cm\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[AF+AF=16\text{ }cm\]\[\Rightarrow \] \[AF=8\text{ }cm\] \[\therefore \] Area of square AFGH \[=8\times 8=64\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\] Now, area of rectangle HBCD \[=(15\times 16)c{{m}^{2}}\]                                     \[=240\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\] Area of shaded part of rectangle                         \[=240\div 2=120\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \] Total shaded area \[=(64+120)\,c{{m}^{2}}\]                         \[=184\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\]
