Answer:

16z + 64

Explanation:

Hello!

First, we find the area of the blue square, pretending that there is no part cut out.

Area:


(z+8)(z+8)\\\\\\(z+8)^2\\\\\\z^2 + 16z + 64

Now, subtract the missing area from the total area:


z^2 + 16z + 64 - (z * z)\\\\z^2 + 16z + 64 - z^2\\\\16z + 64

The answer is 16z + 64

Answer:


16z+64

Explanation:

Area of a square =
x^2 (where
x is the length of one side)

Side length of smaller square =
z

⇒ area of smaller square =
z^2

Side length of large square =
(z+8)

⇒ area of large square =
(z+8)^2

Shaded area = area of larger square - area of smaller square

⇒ shaded area =
(z+8)^2-z^2

=
z^2+16z+64-z^2

=
16z+64
