Answer:
44 square centimetres.
Step-by-step explanation:
The shape consists of two rectangles and one triangle with the following dimensions:
• A rectangle (Rectangle 1) with dimensions of 4cm by 2cm.
,
• A rectangle (Rectangle 2) with dimensions 6cm by 4cm.
,
• A triangle with base 6cm and height of 4cm.
Thus, the area of the figure made will be:
![\begin{gathered} \text{Area of figure=Area of rectangle 1+Area of rectangle }2+\text{Area of }\triangle \\ =(4*2)+(6*4)+((1)/(2)*6*4) \\ =8+24+12 \\ =44\operatorname{cm}^2 \end{gathered}]()
The area of the figure is 44 square centimetres.
