In the diagram, WXYZ is a rectangle with diamension 8cm by 6cm. P, Q, R and S are the midpoints of the rectangle as shown. Using this information calculate the area of the part of the rectangle that is not shaded
25cm\(^2\)
24cm\(^2\)
16cm\(^2\)
12cm\(^2\)
Correct answer is B
Area of shaded part = 2 x area of \(\bigtriangleup\)SPQ
= 2 x \(\frac{1}{2}\) 8 x 3 =24cm
Hence, area of the unshaded part of the rectangle = area of rectangle - area of shaded part
= 8 x 6 - 24
= 48 - 24
= 24 cm\(^2\)
