If you notice the picture below
the composite figure is just a trapezoid sitting on top of a rectangle
and then, the rectangle has a triangular hole in it
so.. get the area of the trapezoid
then get the area of the rectangle, which is just a 12x14
and then get the area of the triangle, which surely you know is 1/2 bh
then, subtract the triangle's area from the rectangle's area
and whatever is left, namely the difference, add that to the area of the trapezoid, and that's the composite's area
namely the area of the trapezoid plus the rectangle's, minus the triangle's

Answer:
900 yd²
Step-by-step explanation:
You can draw the pattern that would need to be folded to make the figure, then find the area of that pattern (or "net"). It consists of a rectangle 10 yards wide and 60 yards long, together with another that is 20 yards long and 15 yards wide. The total area is the sum of these ...
... area = (60 yd)(10 yd) + (20 yd)(15 yd)
... = 600 yd² +300 yd²
... = 900 yd²
