The correct answer is 6.1 square units.

The translation of triangle ABC to triangle A'B'C' will not change the dimensions of the original triangle.

Hence, the area of triangle ABC will not be affected by the translation.


\begin{gathered} \text{Area of }\Delta ABC=(1)/(2)bh \\ \text{where b=2, h=6.1} \\ \text{Area of}\Delta ABC=(1)/(2)*2*6.1 \\ \text{ = 6.1 square units} \end{gathered}

Hence, the correct answer is 6.1 square units
