To find the area of the shaded part of the rectangle, we first need to find the area of the entire rectangle.
Area of a rectangle = length x width
Given that the rectangle has a length of 16 inches and a width of 7 inches
Area of the entire rectangle = 16 in x 7 in = 112 square inches
Now, to find the area of the shaded part, we need to subtract the area of the unshaded part from the area of the entire rectangle.
Since the shaded part is a triangle with a base of 7 inches and a height of 3 inches (16-13=3)
Area of the shaded part = (1/2) x base x height
Area of the shaded part = (1/2) x 7 in x 3 in = 10.5 square inches
Therefore, the area of the shaded part of the rectangle is 10.5 square inches.
