Answer:
C) 23 yd^2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can break this figure into two rectangles.
One rectangle is a vertical triangle that is 3 yd across by 7 yds down
The area of this figure is
A = lw
= 3 * 7 = 21
The other rectangle is 1 yd across and by 2 yds down
The area of this figure is
A = lw
= 1 * 2 = 2
The total area is the sum of the two figures
A = 21 +2 = 23
