What is the area of the shaded region?

_______ square units


Hint! Your answer is a binomial.

Answer 1

Answer: 16 + 8x

Explanation:

The area of the entire shape is (4+x) times (4+x), while the white region is (x * x).

Subtracting the white region from the entire shape gives us the area of the shaded region

(4+x)^2 - x^2

16 + 8x + x^2 - x^2 = 16 + 8x
