ANSWER
[tex]44m^2[/tex]
EXPLANATION
We want to find the area of the given shape.
To do this, we have to partition the shape into simpler smaller shapes:
Now, find the areas of A and B and add them up to find the area of the entire shape.
For rectangle A:
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=L\cdot W \\ A=6\cdot2 \\ A=12m^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
For rectangle B:
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=8\cdot4 \\ A=32m^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore, the area of the shape is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=12+32 \\ A=44m^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
