Answer 2

find the area of the red rectangle 16 x 8

then subtract the shaded area.

an easy method is the shaded area is basically a trapezoid with a square removed.

find the area of the trapezoid with paralllel sides 6ft and 3ft and height of 10 ft

then subtract a square 2 x 2

that will give the shaded area.

then subtract that area from the large rectangle
