Answer:
110.5 yd²
Step-by-step explanation:
Separate the figure into 1 triangle and 3 rectangles.
(see attached image)
<u>Area 1</u>
Area of a triangle = 1/2 × base × height
= 1/2 × (7 + 2 + 2) × 7
= 1/2 × 11 × 7
= 38.5 yd²
<u>Area 2</u>
Area of a rectangle = width × length
= 3 × (5 + 2 + 2)
= 3 × 9
= 27 yd²
<u>Area 3</u>
Area of a rectangle = width × length
= 5 × (5 + 2)
= 5 × 7
= 35 yd²
<u>Area 4</u>
Area of a rectangle = width × length
= 2 × 5
= 10 yd²
<u>Total Area</u>
Area 1 + Area 2 + Area 3 + Area 2 = 38.5 + 27 + 35 + 10
= 110.5 yd²
