Split the shape into a triangle and a square. The square's area is 2.6 × 2.3 which equals 5.98. The triangle's area is 6-2.6=3.4, 3.4×2.3= 7.82. But since its a triangle, divide it by two. 7.82÷2=3.91. Now add both of the found areas to eachother, 3.91+5.98=9.98 cm squared. Hope that makes sense and helps!
