Area of Rectangle :42 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex]
To calculate the shaded area, first calculate the overall area and then deduct the areas of the four little rectangles.
The following are the dimensions of the large rectangle:
The length is merely one of the little rectangles' length: 7
The width is equal to the length of one of the tiny rectangles plus the width of two of the small rectangles, thus 7 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 8.
As a result, the area of the largest rectangle is 7 × 8 = 56 cm^2.
We must now calculate the areas of the four smaller rectangles. It's simply length multiplied by width:
7 ×0.5 = 3.5
Because there are four rectangles, multiply by four:
14 cm squared = 3.5 ×4
Finally, the shaded area is calculated as 56 - 14 = 42 cm squared.
