Answer:
119 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of the white border, simply find the area of the outside rectangle and subtract the middle(dark) rectangle's area from that value.
White rectangle: 15x9 = 135
Dark rectangle: 8x2 = 16
135 - 16 = 119 cm^2
The unit is squared when finding the area of a two dimensional figure.
