area of rectangle = (length)*(width)
area of rectangle = (17)*(8)
area of rectangle = 136

area of white triangle = 0.5*(base)*(height)
area of white triangle = 0.5*(8)*(17)
area of white triangle = 4*(17)
area of white triangle = 68

Area of shaded region = (area of rectangle) - (area of white triangle)
Area of shaded region = (136) - (68)
Area of shaded region = 68

The final answer is 68 square inches

Note: the image is a bit blurry so I'm not entirely sure about the units. I think those are double tick-marks shown which implies inches.
