Video Summary

The solution calculates the area of a shaded rectangle within a diagram of touching rectangles. First, by identifying and analyzing adjacent rectangles, the red rectangle's height is determined to be 9 cm using its given area and width. Then, the yellow rectangle's width is calculated as 10 cm. Further calculations reveal a 6 cm width for the white segment. For the blue rectangle, with a width of 6 cm, the height is found to be 8 cm. Applying these measurements, the shaded rectangle's dimensions (5 cm width and 4 cm height) are determined, leading to an area of 20 square centimeters.
