Answer:
40 yds.
Step-by-step 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 [tex]\frac{6*8}{2}[/tex]=48/2=24
The total area is the square+triangle=16+24=40 yds.
