Find the are of the SHADED region.

First find the area of the parallelogram

Area of parallelogram = b x h
= 12 x 7
= 84

Then find area of kite

Area of kite = (xy)/2
= (7 x 12)/2
= 84/2
= 42

Now we are gonna subtract the area of the kite from the area of the parallelogram.

84 - 42 = 42

Therefore the area of the shaded region is 42.

I’m pretty sure the answer is a
