Question

find the area of the shaded region above.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate area of rectangle

Area = length × width = $9 \times 6 = 54$

Step2: Calculate area of triangle

Area = $\frac{1}{2} \times$ base × height = $\frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 5 = 15$

Step3: Sum the two areas

Total area = rectangle area + triangle area

Answer:

$54 + 15 = 69$
