How do i find the area of this shape and you tell me step by step it says find the area of the shaded region

512

Step-by-step explanation:

i fond the area of the whole big rectangle , so to do this i did 32+8 because i needed to find length. then i found the width, which was 8+8, 16. to find area , i need to multiply with times height so i did 40 x 16. this gets me to 640, but now i need to take out the two smaller cubes since i included them when i found the are of the rectangle. since the sides of both squares are 8 by 8, we can do 8 x 8 x 2 to find the area of both of them. now we taake 128(the product of 8 x 8 x 2) and subtract it from the big rectangle with the area of 640. 640-128 is 512.
