To find the area of the figure, we first need to calculate the area of the rectangle and the area of the triangle, and then add them together.
Area of rectangle = length x width
Area of rectangle = 8 cm x 4 cm
Area of rectangle = 32 cm²
Area of triangle = (1/2) x base x height
Area of triangle = (1/2) x 4 cm x 6 cm
Area of triangle = 12 cm²
Total area of figure = area of rectangle + area of triangle
Total area = 32 cm² + 12 cm²
Total area = 44 cm²
Therefore, the area of the figure is 44 cm².
