Answer:
51
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, find the area of the inner rectangle and of the outer rectangle assuming that there isn't a giant hole in it.
A = lw
A = (8)(6)
A = 48 (inner)
A = lw
A = (9)(11)
A = 99 (outer)
Now, subtract the inner rectangle from the outer rectangle to find the area of the shaded region.
99 - 48 = 51
51 is the area of the shaded region.
