Answer: 51 in²

Step-by-step explanation: Using the given diagram, we can find the area of the shaded region by taking the area of the larger rectangle minus the area of the area of the small rectangle.

To find the area of the large rectangle, we start with the formula for the area of a rectangle which is shown below.

Area = length · width

Since the length of the large rectangle is 15 in and the width is 5 in, we can plug this information into the formula to get 15 in · 5 in or 75 in.

So the area of the larger rectangle is 75 in.

To find the area of the small rectangle, we also use length · width which is simply 8 in · 3 in or 24 in. So the area of the small rectangle is 24 in.

Finally, remember that  the area of the shaded region is the area of the larger rectangle minus the area of the smaller rectangle which in this case will be 75 - 24 or 51

So the area of the shaded region is 51 in².

Solve the inequality<br>-6p&lt;12 <br><br><br>Ah this is due by tomorrow
777dan777 [17]

-6p < 12    Divide -6 on both sides to get "p" by itself

\frac{-6p}{-6} < \frac{12}{-6}

p > -2


When you divide or multiply a negative number to both sides of the inequality, the sign (< , > , ≤ , ≥) is flipped.

Doug read 231 pages in 7 hours.he read the same number of pages each hour.how many pages did he read in 1 hour
tino4ka555 [31]

If we let p be the number of pages read in 1 hour, then in 7 hours Doug reads 7p pages. We know that this number of pages is 231, so we have

7p=231 \iff p = \dfrac{231}{7} = 33
