Answer:

Area of the figure = 36 in²

Explanation:

Area of the given composite figure = Area of the rectangle ABCE - Area of triangle CDE

Area of rectangle ABCE = Length × Width

= AB × AC

= 6 × 8

= 48 in²

Area of triangle CDE =
(1)/(2)(\text{Base})* (\text{Height})

=
(1)/(2)(6)(4)

= 12 in²

Now area of the composite figure = 48 - 12

= 36 square inch
