An 8x5 rectangle. If the bottom left corner is considered (0, 0), then two lines are drawn within the rectangle, from (0, 4) to (8, 1) and from (1, 5) to (7, 0). The smaller two regions of the four these lines cut the rectangle into are shaded. What is their combined area?

    Also got 6.5. Calculated one section of white space as a sum of a square and two triangles. Then doubled it and subtracted from overall.
