To find the area of the figure, we need to break it down into smaller shapes and then add their areas together.
The figure consists of a rectangle and a triangle. The rectangle has dimensions 6 units by 4 units, so its area is 6 * 4 = 24 square units.
The triangle has a base of 4 units and a height of 6 units, so its area is 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * 4 * 6 = 12 square units.
Adding the areas of the rectangle and the triangle together, we get 24 + 12 = 36 square units.
Therefore, the correct answer is 36 square units.
