Answer:

The figure is made up of a rectangle and two triangles. The dimensions of the rectangle are 10 cm by 5 cm, so the area of the rectangle is 10 * 5 = 50 cm^2.

Each of the two triangles has a base of 4 cm and a height of 3 cm, so the area of each triangle is (1/2) * 4 * 3 = 6 cm^2. The total area of the two triangles is 2 * 6 = 12 cm^2.

The total area of the figure is the sum of the areas of the rectangle and the triangles: 50 + 12 = 62 cm^2.
