Answer:

58 yards^2

Explanation:

You want to break this irregular shape into simple shapes. You can make a rectangle with the sides of 4 and 6 yards, whose are is 24 yards^2.

Then you can do the rectangle on the opposite side, whose sides are 4 and 6 yards, whose are is 24 yards^2 again.

Then the final rectangle has the sides of 5 and 2 yards, whose area is 10 yards^2.

If you add it all up, you will get 58 yards^2.
