Solutions
Area is the size of a surface. To calculate the area of an object you have to multiply the length times the width. Width is the distance from side to side and the length is how far the object is from end to end.
We know that
X = 2 inches
Y = 9 inches
W = 5 inches
Z = 5 inches
Calculations
Width = 5
z - x =
5 - 2 = 3
5 x 3 = 15
The total is going to be y by z
9 times 5 = 45
total - white space =
45 -15 = 30
The area is 30 square inches.
