You can do 3*2 which is 6 and 3*3 which is 9. 3*2*3*3=54 or 6*9.

By observing the array, we can see that it can be separated into two smaller rectangles:
First, we can form a rectangle with 6 rows and 5 columns:

Second, we can form a rectangle with 6 rows and 4 columns:

Now, we can determine the area of each rectangle to find the total area of the larger rectangle:
For the 6 x 5 rectangle, we can use the multiplication fact 6 x 5 = 30, which gives us an area of 30 units.
For the 6 x 4 rectangle, we can use the multiplication fact 6 x 4 = 24, which gives us an area of 24 units.
Finally, we add the areas of the two rectangles together to find the total area of the larger rectangle:
30 + 24 = 54
Therefore, by using the two multiplication facts 6 x 5 and 6 x 4, we can find that 6 x 9 = 54.
