Answer 1

if we get the area of the 6x2.4 rectangle, and then subtract the area of the rectangle inside, the 2x4.4 one, what's leftover, is the part we didn't subtract, namely, the shaded part.

`\stackrel{ \textit{containing rectangle} }{(6)(2.4)}~~ - ~~\stackrel{ \textit{inner rectangle} }{(2)(4.4)}\implies 14.4~~ - ~~8.8\implies \text{\LARGE 5.6}~cm^2`
