Answer:
72 square units
Explanation:
The area of the rectangle in the middle: 6x8 = 48 square units
The area of the triangle on the left: (5x6)/2 = 30/2 = 15 square units
The area of the triangle on the right: (3x6)/2 = 18/2 =9
(The 6 for the height of the triangle on the right is from the left side of the rectangle in the middle, they have to be the same length)
48+15+9 = 72 square units
