First, we need to divide the figure into rectangles, squares, or other shapes.
If we divide the figure into small shapes, we are gonna have a rectangle with 8 yards, and 2 yards in the top.
Then a rectangle with 3 yards, and 4. A rectangle with 3 yards and 8 as a base and a triangle ay the buttom with 3 yards and 3 yards.
In the case of the triangle, we need to add 3 plus 8 yo obtain the base (11 yd and 3 yd)
After divide the shape, we can solve it easily
Area of the rectangle in the top 16 sqyd
Area of the rectangle at the left 12 sqyd
Area of the rectangle at the middle 24 sqyd
Area of the triangle at the buttom 22 sqyd
Then, we add our areas of the shapes that are above.
Answer:
74 sqyd
