problem

A sheet of 8-inch by 10-inch paper is placed on top of a sheet of 8128 \frac{1}{2}-inch by 11-inch paper, as shown. What is the area of the region of overlap in square inches? [asy]draw((0,0)--(10,0)--(10,8)--(0,8)--(0,0)--cycle,linewidth(2)); draw((0,8)--(8.5,8)--(8.5,11.5)--(0,11.5)--(0,8)--cycle,linewidth(2)); draw((8.5,0)--(8.5,8),dashed); [/asy]
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
A sheet of 8-inch by 10-inch paper is placed on top of a sheet of 8(1)/(2)-inch by 11-inch paper, as shown. What is the area of the region of overlap in square inches?

[asy]draw((0,0)--(10,0)--(10,8)--(0,8)--(0,0)--cycle,linewidth(2));
draw((0,8)--(8.5,8)--(8.5,11.5)--(0,11.5)--(0,8)--cycle,linewidth(2));

draw((8.5,0)--(8.5,8),dashed);
