The shaded region is a parallelogram.
The formula for the area of any parallelogram is [tex]A=bh[/tex].
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.
[tex]2 \times 9 = 18[/tex]
The area of the parallelogram is 18 square meters.
