Answer:
[tex]3\times8=24[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that the shaded figure has a width of 3 cm and a length of 8 cm. The area of the rectangle is equal to the product of the width and length, so [tex]8\:\text{cm}\times3\:\text{cm}=24\:\text{cm}^2[/tex] would be the area of the shaded figure.
