Answer:

45

Explanation:

The area can be found by sectioning the polygon into three shapes. A rectangle with an area of 18 inches can be found at the bottom, while the top can be divided into two triangles. The triangle on the left has an area of 18in^2, (1/2*6*6) while the triangle on the right has an area of 9 in^2 (1/2*6*3).

Total area for all three shapes is 45 sq. inches
