The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

A student said "we cant find the area of the shaded region ((Figure named Untitled) because the shape has many different measurement instead of just a length and a width that we could multiply". Explain why the student's statement about area is incorrect.

Answer and Step-by-step explanation: The student is incorrect because if we divide the shaded area into other geometric forms, each form has a width and length that can be multiplied.

After we found each area, to determine the area of the shaded one, we add each part and find total area.

The figure "Untitled2" is the shaded region divided into smaller quadrilateral.
