Answer:

B. 36 square meters

Explanation:

Find the areas of the rectangle and triangle. Then, subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the rectangle to get the area of only the figure.

rectangle A = 8(6) = 48 square meters

triangle A = 1/2(8)(3) = 12 square meters

48 - 12 = 36 square meters
