What is the area of the shaded region of the given $8\times 5$ rectangle?
给定的 $8\times 5$ 的长方形中,阴影部分的面积是多少?
stem
(A) $4\frac{3}{4}$ $4\frac{3}{4}$
(B) 5 5
(C) $5\frac{1}{4}$ $5\frac{1}{4}$
(D) $6\frac{1}{2}$ $6\frac{1}{2}$
(E) 8 8
Answer
Correct choice: (D)
正确答案:(D)
Solution
Answer (D): The diagonal of the rectangle from upper left to lower right divides the shaded region into four triangles. Two of them have a 1-unit horizontal base and altitude $\frac{1}{2}\cdot 5=2\frac{1}{2}$, and the other two have a 1-unit vertical base and altitude $\frac{1}{2}\cdot 8=4$. Therefore the total area is $2\cdot\frac{1}{2}\cdot 1\cdot 2\frac{1}{2}+2\cdot\frac{1}{2}\cdot 1\cdot 4=6\frac{1}{2}$.
答案(D):从左上到右下的矩形对角线把阴影区域分成四个三角形。其中两个三角形的水平底为 1 个单位,高为 $\frac{1}{2}\cdot 5=2\frac{1}{2}$;另外两个三角形的竖直底为 1 个单位,高为 $\frac{1}{2}\cdot 8=4$。因此总面积为 $2\cdot\frac{1}{2}\cdot 1\cdot 2\frac{1}{2}+2\cdot\frac{1}{2}\cdot 1\cdot 4=6\frac{1}{2}$。
