To find the area of the blue shaded region, we need to calculate the area of the large square and the area of the small square.
The length of the large square is 12 cm, so the area of the large square is 12 cm x 12 cm = 144 cm^2.
The length of the small square is 4 cm, so the area of the small square is 4 cm x 4 cm = 16 cm^2.
The area of the blue shaded region is the different between the area of the large square and the area of the small square: 144 cm^2 - 16 cm^2 = 128 cm^2.
Therefore, the correct answer is not listed: 128 cm^2.
choose a answer choice
The closest answer choice to 128 cm^2 is:
B) 88 in^2
Therefore, the closest answer choice is B) 88 in^2.
