Answer:

12 square units

Explanation:

The answer might be a little easier to see if we slide that triangle on the left over to turn this shape into a rectangle! This is a technique you can apply to any parallelogram. Looking at the newly constructed rectangle, we can find its area by multiplying its length (2) and width (6) for an area of 2 · 6 = 12 square units.
