Work Shown:

The triangle has a base of 3+3+2 = 8, and a height of 7

A = area of triangle

A = 0.5*base*height

A = 0.5*8*7

A = 28

The rectangle has a length and width of 3 and 2

B = area of rectangle

B = length*width

B = 3*2

B = 6

The shaded area is the difference of the two areas

C = area of shaded region

C = A - B

C = 28 - 6

C = 22
