In general, the area of a rectangle is length*width.

To find the area, imagine that the shape is a large 8 * 6 rectangle with a smaller rectangle cut out from the right side. The large rectangle's area therefore 8*6 feet^2.

Now, let's try to figure out the length and width of the smaller rectangle at the side. The width is 3 feet as stated by the diagram. As for the length, notice that the top side is 6 feet. For the bottom side, there's a 2 foot segment. There's another segment, and the total must add up to 6 feet since the whole shape is a rectangle with two equal opposite sides. Therefore, the length of the smaller rectangle is 6 - 2 = 4 feet. so the area of the smaller rectangle is 3 * 4 feet^2.



Subtract the area of the large rectangle minus the area of the smaller rectangle to get the area of the remaining shape.
