Answer 27.000
The area of the shaded region of this figure which can be calculated by the difference of the larger region from the smaller region would be 104 in.²
<h3>What is the area of the rectangle?</h3>
The area of the rectangle is the product of the length and width of a given rectangle.
The area of the rectangle = length × Width
Area of a larger rectangle
= Length × Width
= 18 × 12
= 216 in.²
Area of the smaller rectangle
Length = 12 - 2 - 2 = 8 in.
Width = 18 - 2 - 2 = 14 in.
= Length × Width
= 8 × 14
= 112 in.²
Area of the shaded region = Area of a larger rectangle - Area of the smaller rectangle
= 216 - 112
= 104 in.²
Hence, the area of the shaded region of this figure is 104 in.²
