Answer: [tex]215\ cm^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Here the given figure can be divided into two shapes i.e. rectangle and a trapezium
For rectangle ABCD Area = [tex]10\times8=80\ cm^2[/tex]
Area of trapezium CEFD Area is [tex]\frac{1}{2}[\text{sum of non-parallel sides}]\times[\text{distance between them}][/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\times [10+17][10]=135\ cm^2[/tex]
Total shaded area [tex]=80+135=215\ cm^2[/tex]
