To find the area of the figure, we first need to find the area of the larger polygon (including the missing rectangular piece).
The area of the larger polygon would be the sum of the areas of the two rectangles formed by the top, bottom, right side, and the missing rectangular piece.
Area of the first rectangle = 6 x 6 = 36 square units
Area of the second rectangle = 2 x 8 = 16 square units
Now, subtract the area of the missing rectangular piece (2 x 2 = 4 square units) from the sum of the two rectangle areas.
Area of the figure = 36 + 16 - 4 = 48 square units
Therefore, the area of the figure is 48 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
