Answer:

To find the total area of the figure, we need to find the area of each of the individual triangles and rectangles and then add them up.

The rectangle on the left has a length of 6 and a width of 3, so its area is 6 x 3 = 18 square units.

The triangle on the left has a base of 6 and a height of 5, so its area is 1/2 x 6 x 5 = 15 square units.

The triangle on the right has a base of 6 and a height of 3, so its area is 1/2 x 6 x 3 = 9 square units.

The rectangle on the right has a length of 3 and a width of 6, so its area is 3 x 6 = 18 square units.

Adding up the areas of each shape, we get:

18 + 15 + 9 + 18 = 60 square units

Therefore, the total area of the figure is 60 square units. Answer: (d) 60 units squared.
