Question

I need help with this I will mark you if you get this right

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The length (4 inches) x the width (2 inches) of the back board gives you an answer of 8 inches

${8}^{2}$

you then must find the area of the region that is not shaded so you would then use (length x width) to find the area of the unshaded region

$1.5 \times 1 = {1.5}^{2}$

For the last step, subtract the area of the unshaded region from the area of the backboard to get the area of the shaded region of the backboard.

${8}^{2} - {1.5}^{2} = {6.5}^{2}$

In that case, your answer is B) 6.5 inches squared
