Ruby first figure out the area of the whole figure if it was whole (if it was a full box) then subtract the area of the part that is gone.

Multiply the base and the height

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So i 1st mutiltply 12*14??

OpenStudy (jingle535):

Yes that gives you the area if it was a full box, you then need to subtract the area of the missing part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12*14=168??

OpenStudy (jingle535):

Correct now subtract the area of this part

subtract 4?

OpenStudy (jingle535):

No you need to figure out the area of the missing part and then subtract it

OpenStudy (jingle535):

|dw:1446598642304:dw| If this was the problem I would multiply 10 and 10 to get 100 then subtract 5*5, which equals 25, and get 75 cm²
