The area of a parallelogram is equal to base times height.
The base and height are always perpendicular to one another. Usually the base is horizontal along the ground (if not then you'd need to rotate your paper until it is, but that step is optional).
The base is 6 meters and the height is 7 meters.
Therefore, area = base x height = 6 x 7
The side of 11 meters is not used at all. It's likely put in there as a distraction.
