Answer 1

Area of the figure = 39yd^2

Explanation:

First, we separate the 1 figure into 3 rectangles:

In the first rectangle, the top one, we find the high by subtracting it by 3 and find the area:

w x l= 3x7=27yd^2

We then find the area of the 2 smaller rectangles, they already gave us height and width:

2x3=6

And to find the whole area:

6+6+27

12+27

39
