Finding Area Between Two Rectangles – Examples 1

Finding Area Between Two Rectangles – Examples 2

Calculate the shaded area of this shape.

Solution:
Step 1: Find the area of the larger rectangle via this formula \(A_{B}=l_{B}×w_{B}.
4×8=32\)
Step 2: Find the area of the lesser rectangle via this formula \(A_{S}=l_{S}×w_{S}\)\(
3×3=9\)
Step 3: Subtract the area of the lesser rectangle from the area of the bigger rectangle to find the area between the two rectangles.
\(32-9=23\)
