Question

Find the area of the shaded region

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

112 ft²

Explanation:

The shaded area is the difference of the areas of the outside rectangle and the inside rectangle. Each of those areas is the product of the rectangle dimensions.

shaded area = (14')(12') -(8')(7') = (14')(12') -(14')(4') = (14')(12' -4')

shaded area = 112 ft²
