Question

I need to find the area of the shaded region, but I need detailed steps

Answer 1

The shaded region is a parallelogram.

The formula for the area of any parallelogram is $A=bh$.

The base of the parallelogram is 2 meters long (given).

The height of the parallelogram is 9 meters (do not be fooled by the unnecessary information of 14 meters)
The height is 9 meters because the height has to be perpendicular to the base. Thus, the side length must be 9 meters.

Multiply them together.

$2 \times 9 = 18$

The area of the parallelogram is 18 square meters.
