WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST, PLEASE EXPLAIN J=HOW TO FIGURE THIS PROBLEM OUT THANK YOU. The figure below shows a shaded region and a non-shaded region. Angles in the figure that appear to be right angles are right angles.

A picture of a rectangle is shown. The bottom of the rectangle is labeled 16 ft. The right side of the rectangle is labeled 8 ft. At the bottom left side of the rectangle there is a label that reads 2 ft. Inside the rectangle is a shaded region. The bottom of the region is labeled 8 ft and this side is perpendicular to the left side of the rectangle. The right side of the shaded region has a perpendicular line segment extending upward that is labeled 2 ft. At the top of this line segment is another line segment perpendicular to the right that reads 2 ft. At the end of this line segment is a perpendicular line segment extending upward that reads 1 ft. There is a line segment joining the end of this line segment with the top left corner of the rectangle.

What is the area, in square feet, of the shaded region?
