32 square units
To find the area of the figure, we first need to find the area of the original polygon by adding the areas of all four sides.
Area = (6 + 6) * 8 / 2 = 48 square units
Then, we need to subtract the area of the missing rectangular piece from the left side, which has a base of 6 units and a height of 2 units.
Area of missing rectangular piece = 6 * 2 = 12 square units
Finally, we subtract the area of the missing piece from the area of the original polygon.
48 - 12 = 36 square units
Therefore, the area of the figure is 36 square units.
