A rectangle is removed from a right triangle to create the shaded region shown below find the area of the shaded region be sure to include the correct units in your answer

check the picture below.

well, the angle at the vertex d is clearly not a right-angle, let's check for the one at the vertex f which does look like,   however if it's indeed, that means ef is perpendicular to df, in which case their slopes will be negative reciprocal of each other.

so the negative reciprocal of the slope of ef is 1, however the slope of df is not 1, is 1/2, so nope, they're not perpendicular lines.

step-by-step explanation:

im not sure of the names, but the answer is 48
