Okay, I'll help. Just one sec.

It seems this is just a triangle and a rectangle mashed to together. Just to review, we need to find the formula for finding area. For a rectangle, it's L x W, or Length Times Width. For a triangle, it's (B x H) / 2, or the Base times the Height divided by 2. Knowing that, what could the answer be Diamondgames?

72?

Close. I'll walk you through how to get the answer. First, we find the area of the rectangle. 4 x 6 = 24. Next, we find the area of the triangle. The base is 3, and the height is 6, so we get 18. But then we need to divide by 2. 18 / 2 = 9. 24 + 9 = 33. So the area of the figure is... (Finish my thought ;))
