Answer:

Explanation:

17*8= the entire rectangle which is 136

Area of triangle=(base*height)divided by 2

The base of the white triangle is 4 because 8-4=4 and the height is 17

17*4=68

68/2=34

34= the area of the triangle

Area of the rectangle-area of the triangle=102

102 is your answer.

hopefully i did this right:)
