It says "A rectangle is removed from a right triangle to create the shaded region shown below. Find the area of the shaded region. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer."

Answer:
52 m^2
Step-by-step explanation:
From the figure
base of triangle= 4+4+2= 10 m
and height= 12 m
Area of triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2} \times base\times height[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{2} \times10\times12[/tex]
= 60 m^2
Area of small rectangle= length* breadth= 2*4= 8 m^2
now are of the shaded region= Area of triangle- area of small rectangle
=60-8 = 52 m^2
