| − | | |
| − | We have <math>2</math> isosceles triangles. Thus, the area of the shaded region is <math>\frac{1}{2} \cdot 5 \cdot 4 - \left(\frac{1}{2} \cdot 4 \cdot 2\right) = 10 - 4 = 6.</math> Thus our answer is <math>\boxed{(\textbf{B}.)}.</math>

| |
| − | | |
| − | As we can see, the shape is symmetrical, so it will be equally valid to simply calculate one of the half's area and multiply by 2. One half's area is <math>\frac{bh}2</math>, so two halves would be <math>bh=3\cdot2=6</math>. Thus our answer is <math>\boxed{(\textbf{B}.)}.</math>
