Answer:

The area of the shaded region is 36.

Explanation:

First, let's find the area of the rectangle as a whole, which will be 5*10 = 50. How did we get 50? The right side is 5 (from 2+3), and the top is 10 (3+7). Multiplying those numbers together will give you the area.

Now, the problem asks to find the shaded region. Let's solve for the area of the non-shaded region: (7*2) = 14.

Now, we can subtract the whole rectangle area minus the non-shaded region to find the shaded region:

50 - 14 = 36
