solve and type your answers into the
#6
calculate the area of
the colored shape:
11yd
9yd
2yd 6yd
2yd 3yd
#1 42 in²
#2 78 yd²
#3 38 m²
#4 79 yd²
#5 66 ft²
#6
#7
#8 20 m²
#9
#10 190 yd²

Explanation:

Step1: Find area of outer rectangle

$\text{Area}_{\text{outer}} = 11 \times 9 = 99$ $\text{yd}^2$

Step2: Find length of inner rectangle

$\text{Length}_{\text{inner}} = 11 - 2 - 3 = 6$ $\text{yd}$

Step3: Find area of inner rectangle

$\text{Area}_{\text{inner}} = 6 \times 2 = 12$ $\text{yd}^2$

Step4: Subtract inner area from outer area

$\text{Area}_{\text{colored}} = 99 - 12$

Answer:

$87$ $\text{yd}^2$
