Find the area of the shaded region

9514 1404 393

  112 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The shaded area is the difference of the areas of the outside rectangle and the inside rectangle. Each of those areas is the product of the rectangle dimensions.

  shaded area = (14')(12') -(8')(7') = (14')(12') -(14')(4') = (14')(12' -4')

  shaded area = 112 ft²
