Question 1013974: A square that is 7 mi on a side is placed inside a rectangle that has a width of 10 mi and a length of 18 mi what is the area of the region inside the rectangle that surrounds the square??? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Basically, the square may be placed anywhere in the rectangle, except touching the edge exactly.
The area of the rectangle is 180 sq mi
The area of the square is 49 sq mi
The area of the rectangle around the square is the difference, or 131 sq mi.
