Answer:
169.5 yd²
Step-by-step explanation:
See attachment.
In situations like this, ALWAYS (!) make as sketch.
Divide the areas by adding dotted lines on sensible places, and write in the missing numbers for the correct distances.
The only possible difficult one is the triangle, which is the half of a rectangle. So you are dealing with a series of areas of rectangles. That is really easy if you understand what you are doing.
Total area =
area 1 + area 2 + area 3 + area 4
10*4 + 4*7 + 3*13 + (0.5 * 7*17)
40 + 28 + 42 + 59.5
Total area = 169.5 yd²
