The length of the rectangle =12 cm
The breadth of the rectangle =9 cm
So, if we take out the dimensions of the unshaded part
the length will be =(12-2) cm
=10 cm
and the breadth will be 7.5cm
Therefore the area of the unshaded part =(10*7.5) cm
=75 cm
Now we know the dimensions of the whole rectangle =length is 12 cm and breadth is 9 cm
Therefore the area of the whole rectangle =(12*9) cm
=108 cm
So, the area of the shaded part of the rectangle =(108-75) cm
=33 cm
Ans)The area of the shaded part is 33 cm
