The figure below shows a shaded region and a non-shaded region. Angles in the figure that appear to be right angles are right angles. A picture of a rectangle is shown. The bottom of the rectangle is labeled 16 ft. The right side of the rectangle is labeled 8 ft. At the bottom left side of the rectangle there is a label that reads 2 ft. Inside the rectangle is a shaded region. The bottom of the region is labeled 8 ft and this side is perpendicular to the left side of the rectangle. The right side of the shaded region has a perpendicular line segment extending upward that is labeled 2 ft. At the top of this line segment is another line segment perpendicular to the right that reads 2 ft. At the end of this line segment is a perpendicular line segment extending upward that reads 1 ft. There is a line segment joining the end of this line segment with the top left corner of the rectangle. What is the area, in square feet, of the shaded region? What is the area, in square feet, of the non-shaded region?

and now look on this my posted image - the non shaded area will be composed from little rectangle big rectangle triangle area of little rectangle = 1*2 = ? area great rectangle = 8*3 = ? area triangle = 10*3/2 = ? adding these areas you get easy the non shaded area to get the shaded area so just subtract from area of big rectangle the area of non shaded region hope helped understandably easy @AZ
