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

b.) 160 miles on a 5 gallons car

step-by-step explanation:

240/10=24 miles/gallon

160/5=32 miles/gallon

30/1=30 miles/gallon

168/6= 28 miles/gallon

32 miles/gallon is the most amount, so this is the best.
