Option A:

Area of the shaded part = 99 cm²

Solution:

Length of the rectangle = 15 cm

Width of the rectangle = 9 cm

Area of the rectangle = length × width

= 15 × 9

= 135 cm²

Area of the rectangle = 135 cm²

Side of the square = 6 cm

Area of the square = side × side

= 6 × 6

= 36 cm²

Area of the square = 36 cm²

Area of the shaded part = Area of the rectangle – Area of the square

= 135 cm² – 36 cm²

= 99 cm²

Area of the shaded part = 99 cm²

Option A is the correct answer.

Hence the area of the shaded part of the figure is 99 cm².
