△ The base of △adb is ad=8- 1=7(cm), and the corresponding height of the base ad is 6-2 = 4 (cm).
Delta △adb area = 7 * 4/2 =14 (cm2);
Similarly, calculate the area of △adc.
Delta △adc's bottom ad=8- 1=7(cm), and the corresponding height of bottom ad is 5-2 = 3 (cm).
△ The area of △adb = 7 * 3/2 = 21/2 (cm2); ;
By shadow area = △ ADB area-△ ADB area
= 14-2 1/2
=7/2
= 3.5(cm2);
Area of shaded part = 3.5 (cm2);
