Question

What is the area of this figure?

Answer 1

40 yds.

Explanation:

Let's split the figure into a square and triangle. The square's area is 4*4=16 yds.

For the height of the triangle, we have 4 and the side of the square. As all sides of a square are equal, that part is 4 yds, which means that the height is 4+4=8 yd. That means the area is
`(6*8)/(2)`=48/2=24

The total area is the square+triangle=16+24=40 yds.
