The shaded part of the rectangle is a right triangle with base 7 inches and height 16 inches.
The area of a triangle is calculated using the formula:
Area = 0.5 * base * height
Plugging in the values:
Area = 0.5 * 7 * 16
Area = 0.5 * 112
Area = 56 square inches
Therefore, the area of the shaded part of the rectangle is 56 square inches.
