Answer:
Area = 114
Step-by-step explanation:
We first must find the area of the larger outside rectangle.
Area = length × width
15 × 8 = 120
Then we find the area of the smaller inside rectangle.
4 × 1.5 = 6
Since the small rectangle is not shaded we have to subtract its area from the larger shaded rectangle's area.
120 - 6 = 114
