Solution:

Draw the rectangle:

Refer to image~

Finding the area of the rectangle:

  • 42 x 16
  • => 672 yd²

Finding the area of the unshaded region:

  • 22 x 7
  • => 154 yd²

Subtract the area of the unshaded region from the area of the rectangle.

  • 672 - 154
  • => 518 yd²

The area of the figure is 518 yd².

Answer: 518

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's draw a vertical line to split the figure into two rectangles.

The rectangle on the left is 42 by 9, so its area is 42*9 = 378.

The rectangle on the right is 7 by 20 giving an area of 7*20 = 140.

Overall, the entire area is 378+140 = 518 square yards
