Answer:

34 square units

Explanation:

The figure can be considered to be a trapezoid with a rectangle removed.

The area of the trapezoid is ...

A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h

A = (1/2)(10 +6)(5) = 40

The area of the rectangle is ...

A = LW

A = (3)(2) = 6

Then the area of the shaded portion of the figure is ...

shaded area = trapezoid area - rectangle area

= 40 - 6 = 34 . . . square units
