Step 1: The shaded region is a triangle with base 20cm and perpendicular height 15cm.
The formula for the area of a triangle is
A=21×base×height.
Step 2: Substitute the given values into the formula.
A=21×20cm×15cm.
Step 3: Calculate the product of base and height.
20cm×15cm=300cm2.
Step 4: Multiply by 21.
A=21×300cm2=150cm2.
150 \mathrm{cm^2}
