O 18 square yards

O 24 square yards

O 36 square yards

44 square yards

Answer 1

24 square yards

Explanation:

Find the diagram attached.

The area of the diagram = Area of rectangle + Area of triangle

Area of rectangle = 3 * 4

Area of rectangle = 12 square yards

Area of triangle = 1/2 * base * height

Area of triangle = 1/2 * 6 * 4

Area of triangle = 12 square yards

Area of the diagram = 12 + 12

Area of diagram = 24 square yards

Hence 24 square yards of carpeting is needed
