That shaded region area we need

  • length=2m
  • Breadth=1m

Area

  • Length×Breadth
  • 2(1)
  • 2m²

Answer: A) 2 m^2

Explanation:

We know, the 2-dimensional cross-section is a Rectangle.

Length (l) = 2 m
Breadth (b) = 1 m

Area of the Cross Section = l * b

Therefore,
= lb
= l * b
= 2 * 1
=> 2

Area of the Cross Section = 2 m^2
