Question

10. Find the area of the shaded region.

Answer 1

Area = 114

Explanation:

We first must find the area of the larger outside rectangle.

Area = length × width

15 × 8 = 120

Then we find the area of the smaller inside rectangle.

4 × 1.5 = 6

Since the small rectangle is not shaded we have to subtract its area from the larger shaded rectangle's area.

120 - 6 = 114
