To find the area of the figure, we need to split it into two rectangles.
The first rectangle has a base of 6 cm and a height of 5 cm.
Area of the first rectangle = base x height = 6 cm x 5 cm = 30 cm^2
The second rectangle has a base of 10 cm and a height of 5 cm.
Area of the second rectangle = base x height = 10 cm x 5 cm = 50 cm^2
Total area of the figure = area of first rectangle + area of second rectangle
Total area = 30 cm^2 + 50 cm^2 = 80 cm^2
Therefore, the area of the figure is 80 square centimeters.
