Answer:
A = 70 yd²
Explanation:
the figure is composed of 2 rectangles
calculate the areas and sum them together
the lower one has length = 5 yd and width = 4 yd
the upper one has length = 3 + 4 + 3 = 10 yd and width = 5 yd
the area of a rectangle is calculated as
area = length × width
area of upper = 10 × 5 = 50 yd²
area of lower = 5 × 4 = 20 yd²
area of figure = 50 + 20 = 70 yd²
