Given:
Image of the figure.
To find:
The area of the figure.
Solution:
Length of larger rectangle = 9
Width of larger rectangle = 8
Area of larger rectangle = length × width
= 9 × 8
Area of larger rectangle = 72 square units
Length of smaller rectangle = 4
Width of smaller rectangle = 2
Area of smaller rectangle = length × width
= 4 × 2
Area of smaller rectangle= 8 square units
Area of the figure = Area of larger rectangle - Area of smaller rectangle
= 72 - 8
= 64 square units
The area of the figure is 64 square units.
