1. **State the problem:** We have a rectangular wall divided into three sections: red, green, and blue.
The green section is a square with side length 14 feet.
The red section is 14 feet wide and 8 feet tall.
We need to find the area of the blue section.
2. **Understand the layout:**
- The green section is a square of side 14 ft, so its height and width are both 14 ft.
- The red section is 14 ft wide and 8 ft tall.
- The blue section is below the red section, sharing the same width (14 ft) and the remaining height of the wall.
3. **Calculate the total height of the wall:**
Since the green section is a square with height 14 ft, the total height of the wall is 14 ft.
4. **Calculate the height of the blue section:**
The red section height is 8 ft, so the blue section height is the remaining height:
$$\text{Height}_{blue} = 14 - 8 = 6 \text{ feet}$$
5. **Calculate the area of the blue section:**
The blue section width is the same as the red section width, 14 ft.
Area formula for a rectangle:
$$\text{Area} = \text{width} \times \text{height}$$
So,
$$\text{Area}_{blue} = 14 \times 6 = 84 \text{ square feet}$$
6. **Final answer:**
The area of the blue section is **84 square feet**.
Blue Area 35961A
