To find the area of the figure, we need to calculate the area of the larger rectangle and subtract the area of the smaller rectangular piece.
The dimensions of the larger rectangle can be identified as follows:
- Width: The sum of the top and bottom sides = 6 + 6 = 12 units
- Length: The right side = 8 units
Therefore, the area of the larger rectangle is 12 units * 8 units = 96 square units.
Next, we need to calculate the area of the smaller rectangular piece. We are given that the vertical width of the missing piece is 2 units.
Thus, the area of the smaller rectangular piece is 2 units * 6 units = 12 square units.
Finally, we need to subtract the area of the smaller piece from the area of the larger rectangle: 96 square units - 12 square units = 84 square units.
Therefore, the area of the figure is 84 square units.
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a polygon where the top, right, and bottom sides are perpendicular to each other. A smaller rectangular piece is missing from the center of the left side of the polygon inward. The dimensions are as follows: the top side is 6, the right side is 8, and the bottom side is 6. The left side is divided into three parts. It shows a vertical width of 2 from the top

not an option.
Apologies for the confusion. Let's reevaluate the problem.
The dimensions of the larger rectangle are as follows:
- Width: The sum of the top and bottom sides = 6 + 6 = 12 units
- Length: The right side = 8 units
Therefore, the area of the larger rectangle is 12 units * 8 units = 96 square units.
Since we are missing a rectangular piece on the left side, the area of this missing piece needs to be subtracted from the area of the larger rectangle.
The missing rectangular piece has a width of 2 units and a length of 6 units.
Therefore, the area of the missing piece is 2 units * 6 units = 12 square units.
Subtracting the area of the missing piece from the area of the larger rectangle, we get 96 square units - 12 square units = 84 square units.
Therefore, the area of the figure is 84 square units.
