To find the area of the dreidel, we need to calculate the total area of each shape and then subtract the area of the smaller squares from the area of the larger rectangle.
The dimensions of the larger rectangle are 11 inches by 10 inches, so the area of the rectangle is 11 * 10 = 110 square inches.
The dimensions of the smaller squares are 2 inches by 2 inches, so the area of each square is 2 * 2 = 4 square inches. There are two smaller squares, so the total area of the smaller squares is 2 * 4 = 8 square inches.
Therefore, the area of the dreidel is 110 square inches - 8 square inches = 102 square inches.
The Dreidel is 1 in, 2 in, 10 in, 2 in, and 11 in

I apologize for the mistake. Let's try again.
To find the area of the dreidel, we need to calculate the total area of each shape and then subtract the overlap areas.
The dimensions of the larger rectangle are 11 inches by 10 inches, so the area of the rectangle is 11 * 10 = 110 square inches.
The dimensions of the smaller square (2 inches by 2 inches) and the smaller rectangle (1 inch by 2 inches) also need to be taken into account.
The overlapping area between the square and rectangle can be calculated by subtracting the area of the square (2 * 2 = 4 square inches) from the area of the rectangle (1 * 2 = 2 square inches), resulting in an overlap area of 2 square inches.
Thus, the total area of the dreidel is 110 square inches - 4 square inches (small square) - 2 square inches (overlapping area) = 104 square inches.
