Studdy Solution
Subtract the area of the rectangle from the area of the triangle to find the area of the shaded region:
$$\text{Area of Shaded Region} = \text{Area of Triangle} - \text{Area of Rectangle}$$
Substitute the calculated areas:
$$\text{Area of Shaded Region} = 18 \, \text{ft}^2 - 8 \, \text{ft}^2$$
Calculate:
$$\text{Area of Shaded Region} = 10 \, \text{ft}^2$$
The area of the shaded region is:
$$\boxed{10 \, \text{ft}^2}$$
