Answer: linear
Step-by-step explanation:
I would first cut off the ends that make a trapezoid and then find the area of the trapezoids and the area of the rectangles.
A trap = (1/2) * h *(b1 + b2)
A rect = L * W
A trap = (1/2) 4 * (6 + 14)
A = (1/2) * 4 * 20
A = 40 (there are 2 trapezoids) 40 * 2 = 80 yds^2
A rect = L * W
A = 12 * 4
A = 48 (there are 2 rectangles) 48 * 2 = 96 yds^2
80 + 96 = 176 yds^2
