Find the area of the coloured regions

The figure is given below:

Area of bigger rectangle (shaded in green) = length × breadth

= 8 × 2

= 16 m²

Area of smaller rectangle (shaded in grey) = length × breadth

= 6 × 2

= 12 m²

Area of the coloured regions = Area of bigger rectangle + Area of

smaller rectangle

Area of the coloured regions = 16 + 12

= 28 m²
