Answer:

75m2

Explanation:

Usually, we would subtract the area of a smaller inner shape from the area of a larger outer shape in order to find the area of the shaded region.

The area of the shaded region is the difference between the areas of the rectangle and the square. The dimensions of the rectangle are 6 by 8 and so the area is 6 times 8, that is 48 square units. Each side of the square measures 2 units and so the area is 2 times 2, that is 4 square units.
