Hey! That's my name! Spelled right too.

The rectangle's area is the length times the width. 8 * 5 = 40.

He... I shade half of it. 40 / 2 = 20.

The area of the shaded part is 20 square inches or 20 in²

If the length of the rectangle is 8 inches and the width is 5 inches, you can take half of the rectangle by drawing a line down the middle of the length. since half of 8 is 4, the length of the shaded rectangle would be 4 inches. The width would remain the same.

now that we have the length of 4 and width of 5 we can solve for area

A = L x W

A = 4 x 5

A = 20 inches²

hope this helped
