Answer: The area of the shaded region is 363.96 yards²

Explanation:

Looking at the given shapes, the length and width of each are unequal. It means that they are rectangles. The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = length × width

Considering the smaller rectangle,

Area = 11.4 × 10.2 = 116.28 yards²

Considering the larger rectangle,

Area = 23.2 × 20.7 = 480.24 yards²

Area of the shaded region is

Area of the larger rectangle - area of the smaller rectangle. It becomes. 480.24 - 116.28 = 363.96 yards²
