Answer:
81 yd^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have 2 trapezoids.
The larger one has parallel sides of 7 and 12 yds with height 6 yds and
the smaller one parallel sides 7 and 9 yds and height 3 yds.
Area of a trapezoid = 1/2 * h( a + b) where h = height and a and b are the parallel sides.
Total area of the figure = 1/2 * 6(7 + 12) + 1/2 * 3(7 + 9)
= 3 * 19 + 1.5 * 16
= 57 + 24
= 81 yd^2
