Answer:
60 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
You can get there a couple of ways.
One way is to consider the enclosing rectangle, which is 9 units by 11 units, so has an area of 99 square units. From that will be subtracted two triangles having height 2 and width 6, and two triangles having height 3 and width 9. Thus the net area in rectangle DEFG is ...
99 - 2·6 - 3·9 = 60 . . . square units
__
Another way is to find the lengths of each of the sides and multiply those.
Short side = √(2²+6²) = 2√10
Long side = √(3²+9²) = 3√10
area = short side × long side = (2√10)(3√10) = 6·10 = 60 . . . square units
