Question

Given the two rectangles below. Find the area of the shaded region. 4 4 9 3​

Answer 1

60

Explanation:

The shaded region's area is the difference between the area of the outer rectangle and the white rectangle.

area = LW - lw

area = (4 + 4)(9 + 3) - (4)(9)

area = (8)(12) - 36

area = 96 - 36

area = 60
