The shaded area is trapezium with parallel sides as a = 10, b = 5 and height of trapezium is h = 18 in.
The formula for the area of trapezium is,
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot(a+b)\cdot h[/tex]
Determine the area of the tapezium.
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot(10+5)\cdot18 \\ =15\cdot9 \\ =135 \end{gathered}[/tex]
So area of shaded region is 135 square inch.
