Answer:
14.25 yd^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle area is given by the formula ...
A = 1/2bh
Here, the base is 10 yd, and the height is 5 yd, so ...
triangle area = (1/2)(10 yd)(5 yd) = (5 yd)^2 = 25 yd^2
__
The semicircle is half the area of a circle with radius 5 yd, so its area is ...
semicircle area = (1/2)π(5 yd)^2 = 12.5π yd^2 ≈ 39.25 yd^2
__
The shaded region is the difference between these areas:
shaded area = 39.25 yd^2 -25 yd^2 = 14.25 yd^2
