that's funny
I have no idea about chemistry but I will assume DavidQD knows what he is talking about and tick the answer.
I assume that the answer is in cm2.
And that it is perpendicular height.
And that our anonymous friends answer is in cm.
Then yes, that is a good answer.
add $$\left(\frac{14}{2}\right)^2 = 49$$

Don't forget the dollar sign!
My goodness Chris you so look for the long way sometimes!
Just do it with an ordinary division. You get 56 with 1 left over
That's $$56\frac{1}{4}$$
or on a calculator
$${\frac{{\mathtt{225}}}{{\mathtt{4}}}} = {\mathtt{56.25}}$$
You go to Egypt and follow the tourist trail.
That is A=1/2 * base * perpendicular height
This is the short version of what CPhill is telling you
$$log_bA = \frac{logA}{logb}$$
You can use whatever base you want - I suggest base 10 or base e so that you can do it on your calculator
