Answer: 22 square inches

======================================================

Explanation:

The white rectangle is 3 by 6 with area of 3*6 = 18 square inches.

The larger rectangle is 8 by 5 with area of 8*5 = 40 square inches.

The difference of these will get us the shaded area:

40 - 18 = 22 square inches
