Answer:
the area is 68 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
-first pretend that one spot is filled and if you do that the whole rectangle is 8 by 10.
- the area of something is length times width and so 8 times 10 is 80
- however, we can't pretend that we don't have a hole anymore so to figure out that tiny rectangles area we have to find its width and length which is 4 and 3.
- 4 times 3 is 12 and since we have that we subtract 12 from 80 and we get 68.
