i'm not sure how to find the area above can someone explain?

Answer:
[tex]84[/tex] [tex]in^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the area of this shape, we need to break it up into to distinct shapes: a triangle and a rectangle
We know that the base and height of the triangle are each 6 inches and that the base of the rectangle is 6 inches and the height is 11 inches
[tex]\frac{1}{2} (6)(6)=18\\\\(6)(11)=66\\\\66+18=84[/tex]
The area of this shape is [tex]84[/tex] [tex]in^2[/tex]
