Find the area of the figure:
Answer:
To find the area of she shaded part we first need to find the total of the area.
L x W
8 x 5 = 40 is the total area
Now we need to find the area of the non - shaded part
Since it is a square all sides are equal the short lines sticking from the sides indicate that
2 x 2 = 4
Now we subtract the total area from the non shaded area.
40 - 4 = 36
Answer:
36 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you find the area of the big rectangle.
5 ⋅ 8 = 40
Second, you find the area of the small square.
2 ⋅ 2 = 4
Finally, you subtract the 2 areas.
40 - 4 = 36
