Required

The shaded region

First, calculate the area of the complete rectangle

`Area =Length * Width`

`Area = 14cm * 25cm`

`Area = 350cm^2`

Next, calculate the area of the triangle

`Area = (1)/(2) * Base * Height`

`Area = (1)/(2) *25cm * 11cm`

`Area = 137.5cm^2`

Subtract the area to calculate the shaded region area

`Shaded = 350cm^2 - 137.5cm^2`

`Shaded = 212.5cm^2`
