Trevor folded a corner of a rectangular piece of paper to form a pentagon, as shown below. What is the area of the shaded pentagon? A. 84.5 square inches B. 75.5 square inches c. 39.5 square inches D. 35 square inches. PLEASE HELP I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST.

B. 75.5 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area (pentagon) = Area (rectangle) - Area (triangle)

= length x width - 1/2 x breadth x height

= 10 x 8 - 1/2 x 3 x 3

= 80 - 4.5

= 75.5 square inches

Solution :-

B. 75.5 square inches

B) 75.5 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle = width × length

⇒ area of rectangle = 8 × 10 = 80 in²

Area of triangle = 1/2 × base × height

⇒ area of triangle = 1/2 × 3 × 3 = 4.5 in²

Area of pentagon = area of rectangle - area of triangle

                              = 80 - 4.5

                             = 75.5 in²
