Problem
The area of polygon 
, in square units, is
![[asy] draw((0,9)--(6,9)--(6,0)--(2,0)--(2,4)--(0,4)--cycle); label("A",(0,9),NW); label("B",(6,9),NE); label("C",(6,0),SE); label("D",(2,0),SW); label("E",(2,4),NE); label("F",(0,4),SW); label("6",(3,9),N); label("9",(6,4.5),E); label("4",(4,0),S); label("5",(0,6.5),W); [/asy]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/a/4/1/a41b89f4f50edbafedb2363591428f6c617d5ebb.png)
Solution
Notice that the polygon is made up of two smaller rectangles with dimensions 
and 
That makes the area 
so the answer is
