Answer:
14 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all we have to find the total area
total area = lenght x width = 8 x 2 = 16 cm^2
the shaded area is a right triangle
the area of a right triangle is
A = (leg 1 x leg2)/2 = (2 x 2)/2 = 2 cm^2
now we have to subtract it from the total area
16-2 = 14 cm^2
