Answer: 21 units squared

Step-by-step explanation: 1. The triangle is 2 units by 3 units. When finding the area of a triangle, you divide the area in half.

2. Area of the triangle: 2 x 3 = 6. 6/2 = 3.

3. The rectangle is 6 units by 3 units.

4. Area of the rectangle: 6 x 3 = 18.

5. Add the area of the triangle and the area of the rectangle. 3 + 18 = 21.

6. The figure's area is 21 units squared.
