Answer:

72 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's find the area of the middle rectangle.

We know the width of this rectangle is 6 and the length is 8 so we will multiply these two numbers.

6 × 8 = 48

Now let's find the area of the triangles

The formula is ((length × width) ÷ 2)

The width is 3, as it is not part of the rectangle, and the length is 8

And there are two triangles so we will do this twice

((8 × 3) ÷ 2) = 12

((8 × 3) ÷ 2) = 12

Now add up all of the areas

48 + 12 + 12 = 72

So 72 is our final answer

We start by solving the triangles. Where the base is 3 and the height is 8.
1/2 • 8 • 3 = 12 • 2 = 24 (because there’s 2 triangles)

And now we solve the rectangle:
6•8= 48

Now we add up the areas:
48+24= 72

72 squared units.
