Thank you We sneak in and here's your shmoop du

00:05

jour brought to you by shaded areas For some reason

00:08

these tend to be really big hangout spots for trees

00:11

while the area in square inches of the shaded regions

00:14

where the two rectangles over laugh is what All right

00:20

so this question wants us to find the area of

00:22

the shaded area We generally don't venture into such shady

00:25

areas but we're going to make an exception All right

00:28

Well the area of a rectangle is length times type

00:31

till you get the area Don't need to figure out

00:33

those two measurements of our mystery shape Well how do

00:35

we do that We'll look over The information were given

00:37

We can see the upper big rectangle is eight inches

00:39

long and that bottom segment is only five inches long

00:43

Since the rest of that measurement is the length of

00:45

our shaded area we can just take eight months Five

00:48

to get three inches Okay Halfway there onto the height

00:51

we knew the same thing The upper rectangle is six

00:54

inches tall minus the poor inches of this segment And

00:58

we now know the height of our shaded rectangle is

01:00

two inches Take three inches time Two inches and we

01:03

get six square inches Got it That's Our answer Now

01:06

that we know the dimensions of a rectangle it seems 00:01:08.94 --> [endTime] well a little less shady
