To find the area of the shape you described, we can follow these steps:
1. **Calculate the area of the larger square**:
\[
\text{Area of larger square} = \text{side}^2 = 12^2 = 144
\]
2. **Calculate the area of the inner square**:
\[
\text{Area of inner square} = \text{side}^2 = 2^2 = 4
\]
3. **Calculate the area of the remaining section**:
\[
\text{Area of remaining section} = \text{Area of larger square} - \text{Area of inner square} = 144 - 4 = 140
\]
Therefore, the area of the remaining section is \( \boxed{140} \).
1. **Calculate the area of the larger square**:
\[
\text{Area of larger square} = \text{side}^2 = 12^2 = 144
\]
2. **Calculate the area of the inner square**:
\[
\text{Area of inner square} = \text{side}^2 = 2^2 = 4
\]
3. **Calculate the area of the remaining section**:
\[
\text{Area of remaining section} = \text{Area of larger square} - \text{Area of inner square} = 144 - 4 = 140
\]
Therefore, the area of the remaining section is \( \boxed{140} \).
