19.8m²

Work:
First you split the shape into a rectangle and a triangle. So now you have a triangle with the sides 4 x 3.6 and a triangle with the sides 4 x 2.7.

Side note: 2.7 comes from subtracting 3.6 off of 6.3.

Rectangle:
A = lw
A = 4 (3.6)
A = 14.4m²

Triangle:
A = 1/2lw
A = 1/2 (4) (2.7)
A = 5.4m²

Then you add the areas of both the rectangle and the triangle together.

14.4 + 5.4 = 19.8m²
