Question

Which equation shows the area, in square centimeters, of the shaded figure?

Answer 1

`3*8=24`

Explanation:

Notice that the shaded figure has a width of 3 cm and a length of 8 cm. The area of the rectangle is equal to the product of the width and length, so
`8\:\text{cm}*3\:\text{cm}=24\:\text{cm}^2` would be the area of the shaded figure.
