Answer:

20 Units

Explanation:

The question wants us to find the area of the shape.

From looking at the shape, we can easily infer that it is made of 1 square and 1 triangle.

Area of a Square/Rectangle Formula: A = W(L)

Area of a Trangle Formula: A = (1/2)(b)h

A = W(L)+(1/2)(b)h

The base of the traingle can be found by subtracting the longer length (6) from the smaller length (4).

A = 4(4)+(1/2)(2)4

A = 16+(1)4

A = 16+4

A = 20 Units
