Answer: 36 square units.

Explanation:

First, you can separate the figure into a 4x6 rectangle and a 6x4 isosceles triangle. You can find the area of the rectangle by using the rectangle area formula, A = l x w .

4 x 6 = 24 units

Then, to find the area of the triangle, you can use the triangle area formula, A =
(1)/(2) b x h .

1/2 x 4 x 6 = 12 units

Finally, you can simply add 24 + 12 to get the total area of 36 units. Since the area is the measure found, you would use the square symbol (²) at the end of the units:

36 units²

I hope this helps!
