Question

Write an expression that gives the area of the shaded region in the figure.

Answer 1

Area = 88 square units

Explanation:

The length of the blue rectangle can be found by subtracting 15 and 4, which equals 11. The width of the blue rectangle can be found by subtracting 6 from 14, which equals 8.

area = length x width

area = 11 x 8

area = 88 square units
