Question

Find the area of the region that is NOT shaded.

Answer 1

well, looking at the picture we can see the blue rectangle is a 4x6 whilst the larger containing rectangle is a 14x15, well, we can simply get the area of the larger one and subtract the area of the smaller one.

`\stackrel{\textit{\LARGE Areas}}{\stackrel{white~rectangle}{(14)(15)}~~ - ~~\stackrel{blue~rectangle}{(4)(6)}}\implies 210-24\implies \text{\LARGE 186}`
