![**Educational Exercise on Geometry**
**Figure Overview:**
The provided shape is a composite figure consisting of a small square joined with a larger square. There’s a shaded part in the upper right corner of the larger square forming an L-shape when combined.
**Steps:**
**3.5** Write an expression representing the area of the shaded part.
______________________________________________________
**3.6** Extend a line from the top of the small square (length \( b \)) to the right, going up until it meets the side of the original square. There should now be a rectangle formed adjacent to the smaller square.
**3.7** What is the rectangle’s length and breadth, in step 3.6, in terms of \( a \) and \( b \)?
- **Length:** ________________________________________
- **Breadth:** _______________________________________
**3.8** Cut out the small square and set it aside. (Use diagram sheet.)
**3.9** Cut out the rectangle, lay and stick it alongside the leftover part to form a larger rectangle. Ensure that two sides of the same length are next to each other (the rectangle will need to turn).
**3.10** What is the **new** rectangle's length and breadth in terms of \( a \) and \( b \)?
- **Length:** ________________________________________
- **Breadth:** _______________________________________
**Diagram Explanation:**
The given figure depicts a geometric shape where a small square of side \( b \) is shaded and part of a large square of side \( a \). By following the instructions, you will manipulate this shape to investigate areas and rearrange components to form new figures.
