Answer:
102 squared in.
Explanation:
the shaded area is the whole shape minus the unshaded shape.
calculating the whole shape area:
make sure you add all the width together and then all the height together before multiplying
(10+4) x (3+6) = 14 x 9 = 126 squared in.
calculating the unshaded shape area:
6 x 4 = 24 squared in.
based on the logic from my first sentence in this explanation:
126 - 24 = 102 squared in.
