1. **State the problem:** We need to find the area of the shaded section of a trapezium with a smaller right triangle inside it.
2. **Identify the shapes and dimensions:**
- Large trapezium with parallel sides $25$ cm (top) and $15$ cm (bottom), height $14$ cm.
- Smaller right triangle inside with base $11$ cm and height $6$ cm.
3. **Formula for the area of a trapezium:**
$$\text{Area} = \frac{(a + b)}{2} \times h$$
where $a$ and $b$ are the lengths of the parallel sides, and $h$ is the height.
4. **Calculate the area of the trapezium:**
$$\text{Area}_{\text{trapezium}} = \frac{(25 + 15)}{2} \times 14 = \frac{40}{2} \times 14 = 20 \times 14 = 280$$
5. **Formula for the area of a triangle:**
$$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$$
6. **Calculate the area of the smaller triangle:**
$$\text{Area}_{\text{triangle}} = \frac{1}{2} \times 11 \times 6 = \frac{1}{2} \times 66 = 33$$
7. **Calculate the shaded area by subtracting the triangle area from the trapezium area:**
$$\text{Area}_{\text{shaded}} = 280 - 33 = 247$$
**Final answer:** The area of the shaded section is $247$ square centimeters.
