To get the area of the figure, we will first get the area of the rectangle and add the area of the two triangles above it.
Area of rectangle = 7(4)
= 28
Area of each triangle = 1/2(2)(6-4)
= 1/2(2)(2)
= 1/2(4)
= 2
Adding the area of the rectangle and 2 triangles:
= 28 + 2 + 2
= 32
Thus, the total area of the figure is 32cm squared.
