Given the two rectangles below. Find the area of the shaded region. 4 4 9 3

Answer:
60
Step-by-step explanation:
The shaded region's area is the difference between the area of the outer rectangle and the white rectangle.
area = LW - lw
area = (4 + 4)(9 + 3) - (4)(9)
area = (8)(12) - 36
area = 96 - 36
area = 60
