To find the area of the polygon, we need to divide it into smaller shapes and then calculate the area of each shape.
Looking at the polygon, we see that it can be divided into a rectangle and a triangle.
The rectangle has dimensions of 8 units by 6 units, so its area is 8 * 6 = 48 square units.
The triangle has a base of 6 units and a height of 4 units, so its area is 0.5 * 6 * 4 = 12 square units.
Therefore, the total area of the polygon is 48 (rectangle) + 12 (triangle) = 60 square units.
None of the answer choices is correct, but the closest one is 58 square units.
