Answer:
84 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure has a uniform horizontal cross section, so its area is the product of that cross section length and its vertical dimension.
__
A = bh
A = (6 cm)(14 cm) = 84 cm²
The area of the shape is 84 square centimeters.
_____
Additional comment
You could decompose the figure into a rectangle with base 6 and height 8, and a parallelogram with base 6 and height 14-8=6. The area formula is the same for each: A = bh, so the area of the composite figure is ...
A = 6×8 +6×(14 -8)
= 6×(8 +(14 -8))
= 6×14 . . . . same as above.
