Answer:100 cm

Step-by-step explanation: first, you would find the area of the whole rectangle.

L x W = A

10x14=140

Next, find the area of the unshaded part. To do this, you would subtract 6 from 14

14-6=8

After that, times 8 by 10, then divide by 2

10x8=80

80รท2=40

Take 40 and subtract it from the area of the whole rectangle

140-40=100
