Answer: 39 units squared
You can split it into two sections the rectangle and triangle.
The rectangle is 5 units by 6 units and since the area of a rectangle is b*h; it is 5*6=30 units squared

The triangle isn’t a right triangle but you can still find the base and height, the base is 6 units and the height is 3 units. The area of a triangle is b*h/2; so it is 6*3/2= 9 units squared

Add the two areas together: 9+30= 39 untis squared
