The figure is composed of 1 rectangle and 2 triangles.

Area 1: rectangle

Area of a rectangle:Length x width

Length : 6

width : 4

A1 = 6 x 4 = 24 ft2

Area 2: triangle

Area of a triangle: 1/2 x base x height

Base = (9-6)/2 = 1.5

heigth = 4

A2 = A3 = 1/2 x 1.5 x 4 = 3 ft2

Finally, add all the areas:

Area of the figure: A1 + A2 + A3 = 24 + 3 + 3 = 30ft2
