Answer: it's 39.

Step-by-step explanation: for this figure, you want to divide it into two parts: The triangle and the rectangle.

The triangle has a base of 6, and a height of 3.

The formula for area of a triangle is 1/2 bh.

So the area of the triangle is 9!! 6 x 3 is 18.. divided by two is 9.

Then the rectangle, a= b(h)

the height is 6 while the base is 5.

When you multiply thsoe two you get 30.
