Answer: 39 inch²
Step-by-step explanation:
The rectangle's area was:
= Length * Width
= 6 * 8
= 48 inches²
The square's area is:
= Length * width
= 3 * 3
= 9 inches²
The square was cut out of the rectangle which means the area of the square should be deducted from the rectangle to find out the remaining area.
= 48 - 9
= 39 inch²
