Hi
Thanks for the reply. Do I solve it by fraction. Sorry, I am very lost with this question
 
8 multiply by 4 for 32 units square but I still won't get the full shaded and unshaded
 
You don't need them. "Cancelling" the dotted areas with their corresponding shaded areas leaves a dotted rectangle which is 32 cm. squared. That's the difference between the two areas.
 
Awesome!
I was so silly.

Thanks for the help.
