Calculate the area of the shaded region in each of the figures given below:

(i) Complete the rectangle as shown below:
    
    Area of the shaded region = [Area of rectangle ABCD - Area of rectangle EFGH] sq. units
                                              = [(43 m × 27 m) - {(43 - 2 × 1.5) m x (27 - 1 × 2) m}]
                                              = [(43 m × 27 m) - {40 m × 25 m}]
                                              = 1161 m2 - 1000 m2
                                              = 161 m2

(ii) Complete the rectangle as shown below:
     
     Area of the shaded region = [Area of square ABCD - {(Area of EFGH) + (Area of IJKL) - (Area of MNOP)}] sq. units
                                               = [(40 × 40) - {(40 × 2) + (40 × 3) - (2 × 3)}] m2
                                               = [1600 - {(80 + 120 - 6)] m2
                                               = [1600 - 194] m2
                                               = 1406 m2
