Answer:

36 in.

Explanation:

find the area of the rectangle and triangle first

area of rectangle = length x height

aR = (6 + 6) x 5

aR = 12 x 5

aR = 60

area of triangle = base x height x 1/2

aT = (6 + 6) x 4 x 1/2

aT = 12 x 4 x 1/2

aT = 24

now, to find the area of the shaded area subtract the triangle from the rectangle

area = rectangle - triangle

a = 60 - 24

a = 36
