Here are two copies of the same figure. Show two different ways for finding the area of the shaded region. All angles are right angles.

What is the area of the shaded shape? Each square in the grid has an area of 1 $cm^2$ .

• 10 $cm^2$

• 11 $cm^2$

• 12 $cm^2$

• 16 $cm^2$

What is the area of the shaded shape? Each square in the grid has an area of 1 $cm^2$ .

• 11 $cm^2$

• 8 $cm^2$

• 6 $cm^2$

• 7 $cm^2$
