Answer 2

224 ft^2

Explanation:

We have the big square of 18 by 18 and we are taking away a square of 10 by 10

First find the area of the big square

A = 18*18 =324

Then find the area of the little square

A = 10*10 = 100

We take the big square and remove the little square

A 18 by 18 - A 10 by 10

324 - 100

224 ft^2
