MY TEACHER MRS.HUBERT LIKE GAVE ME THIS PROBLEM AND I DON'T GET IT SO CAN U HELP
IT CALLED SHADED SQUARE
SO THERE IS A RECTANGLE WITH ANOTHER SMALL RECTANGLE THE OUTSIDE ONE HAS 7" FOR THE LENGTH AND 10" FOR THE WIDTH. THE INSIDE IS 4 INCHES AND 2 INCHES. MY TEACHER SAID I HAVE TO SUBTRATE THE OUTSIDE RECTANGLE WITH THE INSIDE
BUT I KEEP ON GETING MIXED UP
THANX
LOL :) :) :) :) :) :)
Outside rectangle:
A = LW
A = 7 * 10
A = ?
Inside rectangle:
A = 4 * 2
A = ?
Subtract the area of the inside rectangle from the area of the outside rectangle.
70-8=62
Of course, I'll be happy to help you with the shaded square problem!
To find the shaded square, you need to subtract the area of the smaller rectangle from the area of the larger rectangle. Here's how you can do it step by step:
1. Start by finding the area of the larger rectangle. You can find the area of a rectangle by multiplying its length by its width. In this case, the length of the larger rectangle is 7 inches and the width is 10 inches, so the area is 7 * 10 = 70 square inches.
2. Next, find the area of the smaller rectangle. Using the same formula, the length of the smaller rectangle is 4 inches and the width is 2 inches, so the area is 4 * 2 = 8 square inches.
3. Finally, subtract the area of the smaller rectangle from the area of the larger rectangle. So, 70 - 8 = 62 square inches.
Therefore, the shaded square has an area of 62 square inches.
I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
