Explanation:

Step1: Substitute the values into the formula

Given the formula \( Area=\frac{1}{2}\cdot base\cdot height \), with \( base = 11m \) and \( height=2m \).
Substitute these values: \( Area=\frac{1}{2}\times11\times2 \)

Step2: Simplify the expression

First, \( \frac{1}{2}\times2 = 1 \). Then \( 1\times11=11 \)

Answer:

\( 11 \)
