Question

Determine a simplified expression to represent the area of shaded region within the figure below

Answer 1

`(5x-3)^(2)` - (3x+1)(2x-1)

Explanation:

Determine the area of the large square: (5x - 3)(5x - 3)

Determine the area of the small rectangle: (3x + 1)(2x -1)

Subtract the area of the small rectangle from the area of the large square to get the area of the shaded region.
