\huge \mathrm{Answer࿐ }

Fig - 1 : Rectangle

  • length = 3x + x = 4x

  • width = x + x = 2x


\boxed{\mathrm{Area = length * width}}


  • 4x * 2x


  • 8 {x}^(2)

_____________________________

Fig - 2 : Kite


\boxed{\mathrm {Area = (1)/(2) * d_1 * d_2 }}


  • (1)/(2) * 4x * 2x


  • 4 {x}^(2)

_____________________________

Area of shaded region :

  • Area of rectangle - Area of kite


  • 8 {x}^(2) - 4 {x}^(2)


  • 4 {x}^(2)

So, Correct option is B. 4x²
