what is the area of the figure in square units?

Answer:
Area of a Rectangle: l x w
2 x 3 = 6
Area of a Triangle:
[tex] \frac{b \times h}{2} [/tex]
The slanted height of the triangle is 2 and the base of the triangle is also 2 so
[tex] \frac{2 \times 2}{2} \\ \\ \frac{4}{2} = 2[/tex]
So to get the area of the figure you add the area of the rectangle plus the area of the triangle.
6+2=8
The area of the figure is 8 units square
