  86 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is equivalent to a rectangle that is 8 m by 12 m, with a triangle cut off. The width of the triangle is (12 m-8 m) = 4 m. The height of the triangle is (8 m-3 m) = 5 m.

Then the figure's area is ...

  A = LW - (1/2)bh

  A = (12 m)(8 m) -(1/2)(4 m)(5 m) = 96 m^2 -10 m^2

  A = 86 m^2

The area of the figure is 86 square meters.
