To find the area of the playing field, we need to calculate the area of each individual shape and then add them together.
The first rectangle has dimensions of 8 meters by 4 meters, so its area is 8 * 4 = 32 square meters.
The second rectangle has dimensions of 6 meters by 5 meters, so its area is 6 * 5 = 30 square meters.
Finally, the triangle has a base of 6 meters and a height of 4 meters, so its area is (1/2) * 6 * 4 = 12 square meters.
Adding all the areas together: 32 + 30 + 12 = 74 square meters.
Therefore, the area of the playing field is 74 square meters, which is not listed as an option. So the closest answer would be 60 square meters.
