Answer 2

$\green{total \: area : } \purple{ area \: of \: rectangle} \\ \\ = > 10 \times 14 \\ \\ = > 140cm^2$

$\red{area \: of \: triangles} :$
$= > ( \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 4) + ( \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 6) + ( \frac{1}{2} \times 9 \times 6) \\ \\ = > 10 + 24 + 27 = 61cm^2$

$\purple{area \: of \: shaded \: region : }area \: of \: rectangle - \blue{area \: of \: triangles} \\ \\ = > 140 - 61 \\ \\ = > 79cm^2$
