Separate the shape into 3 rectangles, then multiply the two edges to find the area:

1 X 5 = 5 yards
1 X 5 = 5 yards
4 X 2 = 8 yards

So the total area = 18 yards^2

The total area of this polygon would be 14 yards squared.

The two lower rectangles both have an area of 3 yards squared. (Total of 6 yards squared)

The top rectangle has as area of 8 yards squared.

When you add these together you have a total of 14 yards squared.

Hope this helps and have a nice day! :)
