Answer:

63 m^2

Explanation:

The figure appears to be a parallelogram.

area of parallelogram = base * height

Use the 14-m side as the base. Then the height is the perpendicular distance between the two opposite 14-m sides, so the height is 4.5 m.

area = base * height

area = 14 m * 4.5 m

area = 63 m^2

P.S. The choices are given in square meters (m^2), which is a unit of area, not in meter times square root of 2 "m sqrt(2)."
