Rectangle :
Area = length × width
A = 10 cm × 6 cm
A = 60 cm²

Triangle :
Area = (base × height)/2
A = [(8 cm - 6 cm) × 10 cm]/2
A = (2 cm × 10 cm)/2
A = 20 cm²/2
A = 10 cm²

Total area :
60 cm² + 10 cm² = 70 cm²

The total area of the given figure is 70cm².

A two-dimensional figure's area is the amount of space it takes up.

Area of a rectangle = L B

L = Length of the rectangle

B = Breadth of the rectangle

Area of a right angled triangle = (1/2) b H

b = Base of the triangle

H = Height of the triangle

Area of the figure = Area of rectangle + Area of the right triangle

Area of the figure = (L B) + ((1/2) b H)

Area of the figure = (10 6) + ((1/2) 10 * 2)

Area of the figure = 60 + 10

Area of the figure = 70cm²

Hence the area of the figure given in the question is 70 sq cm.
