Answer:
30 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure can be thought of as a 6 m × 6 m square with a triangle cut off of the corner. That triangle has a base of 6-3 = 3 m, and a height of 6-2 = 4 m. Then the area of the figure is ...
pen area = square area - triangle area
pen area = (6 m)² - (1/2)(3 m)(4 m)
pen area = 36 m² -6 m²
pen area = 30 m²
