Answer:
[tex]\Large \boxed{A = (29 - 2) \times (12 - 3)}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of the whole rectangle is 29 feet.
The width of the whole rectangle is 12 feet.
The length of the shaded region is 2 feet less than the length of the whole rectangle.
The width of the shaded region is 3 feet less than the width of the whole rectangle.
The area of a rectangle is length × width.
So we can create a formula to solve for the area of the shaded region:
A = (29 - 2) × (12 - 3)
Solving for the area.
A = 27 × 9
A = 243
The area of the shaded region is 243 feet².
