Question

Help pleaseee a s a p

Answer 1

I am just going to assume that the non-shaded box is a square, and tha its side lengths are equal to x. 

A. 
$Area = 8^{2} - x^{2}$
This is because the area of the shaded is the area of the bigger square minus the area of the smaller. 

B. 
$Area = 8^{2} - x^{2} \\ Area=8^{2}-3^{2} \\Area=55cm^{2}$
This is found by just plugging in the value of x into the previous expression.
