### Diagram Explanation:

The image depicts a geometric shape divided into two distinct regions labeled A and B. 

- **Region A**: 
  - This area forms a rectangle.
  - Dimensions are provided: width is 6 feet, height is 9 feet.

- **Region B**: 
  - This area forms a triangle directly below the rectangle.
  - The base of the triangle aligns with the width of the rectangle, measuring 6 feet.

### Additional Measurements:

- The total height of the combined shape (rectangle and triangle) is 14 feet.

### Area Calculation:

The area for the given shape is left to be calculated at the bottom of the image, shown as:

- **Area =** (without any numerical value filled in).

### Notes:

- The area of Region A (the rectangle) can be calculated using the formula: 
  \[ \text{Area of A} = \text{width} \times \text{height} = 6\,\text{ft} \times 9\,\text{ft} \]

- The area of Region B (the triangle) can be calculated using the formula:
  \[ \text{Area of B} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \]
  - To determine the height of the triangle, subtract the height of the rectangle from the total height: \( 14\,\text{ft} - 9\,\text{ft} = 5\,\text{ft} \).

### Provided Area Information:

- There is an additional unrelated area value noted at the top left of the image: 
  \[ \text{Area} = 34\,\text{yd} \]

This information can serve as a practical problem case for calculating combined shapes and understanding basic geometric property evaluations.
