The triangle inscribed within square abcd has, as its base, side ad, and has a height of 6 cm. if the area of the triangle is 21 cm2, what is the area of the shaded region?

Draw the diagram shown below to illustrate the problem.

Let x =  length of a side of the enclosing square.

The area of the triangle is 21 cm², therefore
(1/2)*x*6 = 21
3x = 21
x = 7 cm

The area of the square is
7*7 = 49 cm²

The area of the shaded region is
49 - 21 = 28 cm²

28 cm²

Do the math. she originally had 50 dollars on her gift card and she had 12 dollars left on her gift card after she finished her shopping spree. if you subtract 50 minus 12 you get thirty eight dollars as your answer. so therefore, ciara spent 38 dollars total o
