Answer:

18cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the area of the shaded region is shown below:

But before that the x value is

x ÷ 8 = (x+2) ÷ 10

10x = 8x + 16

10x - 8x = 16

2x = 16

x = 8

Now as we know that

Area = base ×  height

= 2cm × 8cm

= 16cm²

Now for small triangle

Area  = 1 ÷  2(base)(height)

= 1 ÷ 2 × (2)(2)

=4 ÷ 2

A = 2cm²

Now the total area of the shaded region is

= 16cm^2 + 2cm^2

= 18cm^2
