Answer:

80 square units.

Explanation:

4 triangles:

2 x 2 = 4. That's if the triangles were squares. Now divide 4 by 2 and you get 2.

There are 4 triangles, so, 2 x 4 = 8.

Now the 2 rectangles. It's (2 x 6) x 2. 12 x 2, 24.

The large rectangle:

8 x 6 = 48.

Whole figure:

48 + 8 + 24 = 80 square units.
