Answer:
Area of the figure = 169.5 yards²
Explanation:
Area of Rectangle = Length × Width
Area of triangle = 1/2(base × height)
We'll divide the whole figure into parts so that we can find the area more easily!
Rectangle 1 (uppermost):
10 × 4 = 40 yards²
Square 1 (right below the rectangle 1):
7 × 7 = 49 yards²
Rectangle 2 (with square 1):
7 × 3 = 21 yards²
Triangle 1 (Below rectangle 2):
1/2(17 × 7) = 119/2 = 59.5 yards²
Now adding up all to get the area of the whole figure:
Area of the figure = 40 + 49 + 21 + 59.5
Area of the figure = 169.5 yards²
