Area of the figure = 72 yd²
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of the shape, we will break down the shape into figures we can find their areas.
Breakind down the shape, we have one rectangle and a square
Area of rectangle = length × width
Area of rectangle = 9 yd × 7yd
Area of the rectangle = 63 yd²
Area of a square = length²
length = 3 yd
Area of a square = 3² = 9 yd²
Area of the figure = area of rectangle + area of square
Area of the figure = 63 + 9
Area of the figure = 72 yd²
