The area calculation for the shaded section, as seen in the attached diagram, involves subtracting the area of the kite from that of the rectangle. The area of the rectangle is calculated as (3x+x)*(x+x), which simplifies to 4x*2x, equating to 8x². The area of the kite is determined using the formula (1/2)*[d1*d2], where d1 and d2 represent the diagonals, specifically d1=4x and d2=2x. Therefore, the area of the kite becomes (1/2)*[4x*2x], leading to 4x². Consequently, the area of the shaded region can be computed as 8x²-4x², resulting in 4x². Thus, the solution is 4x².
