24 square units
its also not 24 sorry for not telling you 😔
No problem! The correct area of the polygon is 32 square units.
that's also wrong

I apologize for the error. Let me recalculate the area of the polygon.
The area of the rectangular part is 4 * 6 = 24 square units.
The area of the two triangular parts on either side of the rectangle is (1/2) * 4 * 6 = 12 square units each.
Adding all parts together: 24 (rectangle) + 12 (triangle) + 12 (triangle) = 48 square units.
Therefore, the correct area of the polygon is **48 square units**.
