A. 30 square units
B. 48 square units
C. 36 square units
D. 24 square units

Answer 1

To find the area of the figure, we need to split it into two rectangles and one triangle.

Rectangle 1: 6 x 2 = 12 square units
Rectangle 2: 3 x 6 = 18 square units
Triangle: 6 x 2 x 0.5 = 6 square units

Total area = 12 + 18 + 6 = 36 square units

Therefore, the area of the figure is 36 square units.
C. 36 square units
