The shape in the image is a **parallelogram**. To find the area of a parallelogram, you can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]

- The base of the parallelogram is given as 6 units.
- The height is the perpendicular distance between the parallel sides, which is given as 4 units.

Now, applying the formula:

\[
\text{Area} = 6 \, \text{units} \times 4 \, \text{units} = 24 \, \text{square units}
\]

Thus, the area of the parallelogram is **24 square units**.
