We have three rectangles on the figure, with the next dimensions:

13x7, 4x3, and 2x1 cm

The area of a rectangle is computed as follows:

A = base*height

Then, the area of the different rectangles are:

A1 = 13*7 = 91 square cm

A2 = 4*3 = 12 square cm

A3 = 2*1 = 2 square cm

Finally, the area of the shaded region is:

A1 - A2 - A3 = 91 - 12 - 2 = 77 square cm
