How can you break up the figure into familiar shapes to determine the area?

A smaller rectangle is cut out of a larger rectangle. The larger rectangle has a base of 6 yards and height of 7 and one-fourth yards. The smaller rectangle has a base of 3 and two-thirds yards and height of 5 yards.

Subtract the area of the 5 yd by 3 and two-thirds yd rectangle from the area of the 6 yd by 7One-fourth yd rectangle.
Add the area of the 5 yd by 3 and two-thirds yd rectangle to the area of the 6 yd by 7One-fourth yd rectangle.
Subtract the area of the 6 yd by 7One-fourth yd rectangle from the area of the 5 yd by 3 and two-thirds yd rectangle.
Multiply 6 yd by 7One-fourth yd and subtract 5 and 3 and two-thirds from the product.
