Answer: 36 square centimeters
Step-by-step explanation: Hey there! Let's cut the shape in half horizontally. 6 times 4 for the top portion is 24 square centimeters. We subtract 6 cm from the top by 2 cm from the lower part to get the length of the bottom rectangle. We do 4 times 3 for the area of the bottom rectangle which is 12 square centimeters. Finally, we add 24 sq cm and 12 sq cm to get 36 square centimeters. (I tried my best!)
