areas but we're going to make an exception All right
- 00:28
Well the area of a rectangle is length times type
- 00:31
till you get the area Don't need to figure out
- 00:33
those two measurements of our mystery shape Well how do
- 00:35
we do that We'll look over The information were given
- 00:37
We can see the upper big rectangle is eight inches
- 00:39
long and that bottom segment is only five inches long
- 00:43
Since the rest of that measurement is the length of
- 00:45
our shaded area we can just take eight months Five
- 00:48
to get three inches Okay Halfway there onto the height
- 00:51
we knew the same thing The upper rectangle is six
- 00:54
inches tall minus the poor inches of this segment And
- 00:58
we now know the height of our shaded rectangle is
- 01:00
two inches Take three inches time Two inches and we

get six square inches Got it That's Our answer Now
- 01:06
