Answer:

66 in^2

Explanation:

Imagine that the figure is a whole square, where the space between is filled in.

Find the area of the imaginary square (l x w):

9 in. x 9 in. = 81 in^2

Lets make that whole square the original figure it used to be (take away the space we “filled in”)

Lets find the area of the space we filled in:

5 in x 3 in= 15 in^2

Subtract the imaginary square’s area by the area of the space that was originally blank:

81 in^2 - 15 in^2 = 66 in^2

66 in^2 IS YOUR FINAL ANSWER, that is the real area of the composite figure you have.

Hope this helps!
