Answer:

96 sq. inch

Step-by-step explanation:

rectangle has 24 inches × 8 inches dimensions

Hence, Area of Rectangle,

A1=24×8

=192 sq. inch

We, know triangle with base 24 inches and height 8 inches has area exactly half of the rectangle's.

ie. A2=½(24×8)

=96 sq. inch

This was for unshaded region. Then remaining half area is for shaded region.

A1-A2=A

ie. 192-96=96 sq. inch
