Answer:

36 square units

Explanation:

split the figure so that it's a triangle and a rectangle. Find the area of the rectangle (base x height or 6 x 4), which is 24 square units. Then, find the area of the triangle ((base x height)/2 or (6 x 4)/2), which would be 12 units. Then add those units up (24 + 12) and you get 36.
