Answer 1

Answer:

Option D, 36 cm squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Determine the area of the total rectangle

$A = w * l$

$A = 12\ cm * 5\ cm$

$A = 60\ cm^2$

Step 2:  Determine the area of the inner rectangle

$A = w * l$

$A = 8\ cm * 3\ cm$

$A = 24\ cm^2$

Step 3:  Subtract the inner rectangle from the total rectangle

Gray region → $60\ cm^2 - 24\ cm^2$

Gray region → $36\ cm^2$
