Answer: 49 yd
Subtract the unshaded region from the total area to find the shaded region.

The unshaded area consists of 2 triangles, so we have to find the area of each triangle.

The combined area of the unshaded region is 14 yd^2
Now subtract the unshaded from the total to find the shaded:

The shaded region is 49 yd^2
