⋅

W

=

56

⋅

60

=

3360

Now let’s find the little square inside the bigger square. We see from the picture that the width is 34 and the length is 24cm. Using the same formula, we can find the area of the little square.

Little square

⋅

34

=

816

The area enclosed is the area of the big square minus the area of the little square.

3360
