To find the area of the figure, we first need to identify the different shapes that make up the figure. In this case, the figure is made up of a rectangle and a right triangle.
The area of the rectangle is length x width = 5 x 6 = 30 square units.
The area of the right triangle is 1/2 x base x height = 1/2 x 5 x 6 = 15 square units.
Adding the area of the rectangle and the triangle together, we get 30 square units + 15 square units = 45 square units.
Therefore, the correct answer is not listed in the options provided.
