Answer:

96 m²2 (this is the last of the given possible answers).

Explanation:

Recognize that this figure is made up of a parallogram (on the left) and a triangle (on the right).

The length of the parallelogram is 10 m and the height 6 m. Thus, the area of this parallelogram is (10 m)(6 m) = 60 m².

The formula for the area of a triangle is A = (1/2)(base)(height). Here, the area is

A = (1/2)(12 m)(6 m) = 36 m²

The total area of the figure is the sum of the two subareas:

A = 60 m² + 36 m² = 96 m²
