Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Formula for area of rectangle:</u>
= length × width
<u>Area of the smaller rectangle:</u>
length = 7
width = 6
= 7 × 6
= 42
<u>Area of the larger rectangle:</u>
length = 7 + 4 = 11
width = 6 + 2 = 8
= 11 × 8
= 88
<u>Area of the shaded region:</u>
= Area of the larger rectangle - Area of the smaller rectangle
= 88 - 42
= 46
