A hole is punched in a piece of metal to make a part for a machine. What is the area of the metal part, or the shaded region shown?

Answer:
The area of the metal part or shaded area is S=10x+45.
Step-by-step explanation:
The shaded area can be calculated substracting the little square area (the hole) from the big square area (the original metal part).
This is:
[tex]S=S_{original}-S_{hole}=(x+7)^2-(x-2)^2\\\\S=(x^2+14x+49)-(x^2-4x+4)\\\\S=(14-4)x+(49-4)\\\\S=10x+45[/tex]
The area of the metal part or shaded area is S=10x+45.
The area of the metal part, or the shaded region shown is 10x + 45.
[tex]= (x+ 7)^2 - (x-2)^2\\\\= (x^2 + 14x + 49) - (x^2 - 4x + 4)\\\\= (14 - 4)x + (49 - 4)[/tex]
= 10x + 45
