We can cut the compound shape into two separate shapes

Shape 1
4*2=8

Shape 2
6*4=24

Add shape 1 and shape 2
8+24=32

The area of the shale would be 32in

I hope this helps
Find the area of the entire figure as one rectangle, then find the area of empty space and subtract that out of the final answer.

Area of entire figure: 8 × 6 = 48 in²

Area of empty space: 4 × 4 = 16 in²

48 - 16 = 32

The area of the figure is 32 in².
