Question

Find the area of the shaded region. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if needed.

Answer 1

Answer:

140 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the square.

4 + 10 = 14 (Length)

11 + 4 = 15 (Breadth/Width)

Area = 14 x 15 = 210 inches

Find the area of the 2 unshaded squares in the square.

Area of square at the top = 4 x 4 = 16 inches

Area of square at the bottom = 6 x 9 = 54 inches

Add the 2 squares of the area together.

16 + 54 = 70 inches

Now deduct the area of the huge box by the area of the 2 unshaded squares.

210 - 70 = 140 inches
