Answer:


10\ yd^2

Explanation:

Area Of Compound Regions

When a surface has no regular shape, it can be usually divided into smaller regular parts and add their areas. The surface shown in the figure can be split into 3 smaller rectangles (please refer to the image below).

The area of the yellow part is


A_y=(1 yd)(3 yd)=3\ yd^2

The pink region has a height h=4 yd - 3 yd = 1 yd

The area of the pink region is


A_p=(4\ yd)(1\ yd)=4 \ yd^2

The total area is


A_t=2A_y+A_p=2(3)+4=10\ yd^2
