Below is a spherical shell (it's hollow but completely enclosed, like a balloon). There is an electric field that enters the shell on the right hand side as shown and continues through the shell. There is a charge enclosed by the shell with a charge of q (purple dot shown in second image). The green line outlines the same shell - but it is removed in the second image so that you can see the charge enclosed.
The electric field is perpendicular to the widest point of the balloon horizontally. This is enough angle information to answer the question.
Diameter = 1.10 m
Electric Field = 51.0 N/C
Charge Enclosed = 1.40 nC
Calculate the electric flux through the surface of the entire closed shell due to the external electric field 51.0 N/C and the enclosed charge 1.40 nC. Your units should be Nm2/C.
