Answer 190 square inches

Explanation:

If there wasn't a piece cut off of the rectangle, you would multiply 22 by 15 because those are the side lengths. However, there is a piece missing so it will not have a great of an area. On the left side, it says that the width is 8 because part of the side is cut off. On the other side, it says 22. This shows that 14 inches is cut off. So width of the missing piece is 14. Then you need to find the length. On the bottom. It says the length is 5 where the top says 15. That shows that 10 inches are missing. That means the missing side is 14x10 which is 140 square inches. If the rectangle was a whole, it would be 330. You subtract 140 from that and it makes 190 square inches.
