Answer:

11 sq. units

Explanation:

Find the area of the rectangle first, then find the area of the three white triangles.

Area of the rectangle

= 6×5

= 30 sq. units

Total area of the three white triangles

= (4×5)÷2 + (2×3)÷2 + (6×2)÷2

= 19 sq. units

The area of the rectangle minus the total area of white triangles:

Area of the green triangle

= 30-19

= 11 sq. units
