To find the area of the shaded part, you first need to find the total area of the rectangle.
The rectangle is made up of 4 square units in width and 6 square units in length, so the total area is 4 x 6 = 24 square units.
Next, you need to determine the area of the shaded part. The shaded part consists of 3 full square units and 2 half square units (each half unit being half of a full unit). So the area of the shaded part is 3 + 2(0.5) = 4 square units.
Therefore, the area of the shaded part is 4 square units.

it says that 4 square units is wrong
I apologize for the mistake. Let's correct the calculation.
The total area of the rectangle is 4 units (width) x 6 units (length) = 24 square units.
The shaded part consists of 3 full square units and 2 half square units (each half unit being half of a full unit). So, the area of the shaded part is 3 + 2(0.5) = 4 square units.
Therefore, the area of the shaded part is indeed 4 square units. Thank you for your patience.
