Answer:
14 yards²
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of this complex shape, we can break it down into two parts.
I've broken it down into the left shape (with side lengths of 2, 2, 4 and 4) and the right shape (with side lengths of 2, 2, 2 and 3).
Looking at the shape on the left, the width is 4 yards and the length is 2 yards. Multiplying these numbers will get the area for that shape.
[tex]2\cdot4=8[/tex] yards².
Now in the right shape, the length is 3 and the width is 2, so:
[tex]3\cdot2=6[/tex] yards².
Now we can add both of these to get the total area of the figure.
[tex]6+8=14[/tex] yards².
Hope this helped!
