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
