Answer:
A =302 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the area of the rectangle
A = l*w where the length is 27 cm and the width is 13 cm
A = 27*13 =351 cm^2
Now find the area of the square that is unshaded
A = s^2 where s is 7cm
A = 7^2 = 49 cm^2
The total shaded area is the area of the rectangle minus the area of the square
A = 351-49
A =302 cm^2
