Answer 1

The answer is B for sure!!!

Answer 2

Answer: B.
`38\ in^2`

Explanation:

Area of a rectangle with dimension " l by w" is given by :-

`A_r=l* w`

Area of square with dimension "a by a" is given by :_

`A_s=(a)^2`

Now Using (1), Area of rectangle with dimension 9-inch by 6-inch will be :-

`A_r=9* 9=54\ in^2`

Using (2), Area of square with dimension 4-inch by 4-inch will be :-

`A_s=4^2=16\ in^2`

Now, the required area =
`A_r-A_s=54-16=38\ in^2`

Hence, B is the correct option.
