Question

A rectangular region is removed from another rectangular region to create the shaded region shown below. Find the area of the shaded region.

11 yd
13 yd
4 yd
6 yd

Answer 1

34 yd²

Explanation:

Area of the shaded region = area of the outer rectangle - area of the inner rectangle

Area of outer rectangle = L*W = 13*6 = 78 yd²

Area of inner rectangle = L*W = 11*4 = 44 yd²

Area of the shaded region = 78 - 44 = 34 yd²
