a square measuring 9 inches by 9 inches is cut from the corners of a square measuring 15 inches by 15 inches what is the area of the L shaped figur that is formed

144 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the larger square, then subtract the area of the square we cut out.

The larger square has side length of 15, so it has an area of 15² = 225 in²

The smaller square has side length of 9, so it has an area of 9² = 81 in²

The area left over is

225 - 81 = 144 in²
