A shaded area problem in high school geometry consists of a
figure annotated with facts such as lengths of line segments or angle mea-
sures, and asks to compute the area of a shaded portion of the figure. We
describe a technique to generate fresh figures for these problems. Given a
figure, we describe a technique to automatically synthesize shaded area
problems. We demonstrate the efficacy of our synthesis techniques by
synthesizing problems from fresh figures as well as figures from a corpus
of problems from high-school geometry textbooks.
