Question

Write an expression that gives the area of the shaded region in the figure.

Answer 1

area of shaded part = (15 - 4) * (14 - 6)

That is the second choice.

Answer 2

B.
`(15-4)(14-6)`

Explanation:

We are given that,

The dimensions of the bigger rectangle are 15 ft × 14 ft.

That is, Length = 15 feet and Width = 14 feet.

So, we have that,

Length of the shaded rectangle = (15 - 4) feet

Width of the shaded rectangle = (14 - 6) feet

Then, the area of the shaded rectangle = Length × Width

i.e. Area of the shaded rectangle =
`(15-4)(14-6)` ft²

Thus, option B is correct.
