The area of the outer rectangle above is 80ft and the area of the inner rectangle is 68ft What is the area of the shaded region class=


Answer :

Answer:

6  ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the outer rectangle = 80 ft²

Area of the inner rectangle = 68  ft²

The area that lies between the inner and outer rectangles

= Area of outer rectangle - Area of inner rectangle

= 80 - 68

= 12  ft²

The shaded region is half the area of this area

= 12/2

= 6  ft²
