To find the area of the figure, we need to break it down into smaller shapes and then calculate the area of each shape separately.
The figure consists of a square with side length 6 units and a right triangle with legs of 6 units and 8 units.
The area of the square is side length squared, so 6^2 = 36 square units.
The area of the triangle is 1/2 * base * height, so 1/2 * 6 * 8 = 24 square units.
Now, add the areas of the square and triangle together to find the total area of the figure: 36 + 24 = 60 square units.
Therefore, the correct answer is not listed in the options provided. The area of the figure is 60 square units.
