Answer:

58 square units

Explanation:

We need to find the area of the shaded figure

Lets break the figure into three parts

Top part of the figure is a rectangle

ARea of the rectangle = length times width

Length of the rectangle is 10 units and width is 5 units

Area of the top rectangle =
10 \cdot 5= 50 square units

We have two square at the bottom of the figure

side length of the square is 2 units

Area of the square =
side^2= 2^2= 4

Area of shaded figure = area of rectangle + area of square + area of square

=
50+4+4= 58 square units
