Answer:
44ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Break the shape into 3 rectangles, two 3 by 2's and one 4 by 8. (Get 4 by subtracting 3 from 7 for the left and right most side)
3 x 2 = 6 ft^2
since there's two rectangles you end up 6 + 6 so you get 12 ft^2
then 4 x 8 = 32 ft^2
add 32 and 12, get 44 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
Area of shaded region = Area of external rectangle - Area of internal rectangle

2.
Let the width of the rectangle be x inches.
Therefore, length of the rectangle = (x + 3) inches
A.
Area of rectangle
B.
Width of rectangle = 4 inches
Length of rectangle = 4 + 3 = 7 inches
Area of rectangle = 7*4 = 28 square inches.
3x-8+6x=7
9x-8=7
9x=15
x=9/15
x=3/5
