The first step to solve this problem is to compute first for the area of the bigger rectangle:
A = LW
A = 12m (10m)
A = 120 m^2
Next step is to find the area of the smaller rectangle:
A = LW
A = 7m (2m)
A = 14 m^2
The last step is to deduct the area of the smaller rectangle to the area of the larger rectangle:
Area of larger rectangle – Area of the smaller rectangle = Area of the shaded region
120 m^2 – 14 m^2 = 106 m^2
Therefore, the area of the shaded region is 106 square meters.
