To find the area of the shaded region, which is a triangle with a base and height given, you can use the formula for the area of a triangle:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
From your description, it sounds like the base of the triangle is 6 mm and the height is 7 mm. Plugging these values into the formula gives:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \, \text{mm} \times 7 \, \text{mm}
\]
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 42 \, \text{mm}^2
\]
\[
\text{Area} = 21 \, \text{mm}^2
\]
Thus, the area of the shaded region (the triangle) is **21 square millimeters**.
