Solution Steps

Step 1: Partition the rectangle

Divide the rectangle into 3 rows and 7 columns, creating a grid of 21 squares.

Step 2: Shade a composite unit

Shade any group of 3 connected squares. This visually represents a small part of the total area.

Step 3: Calculate the area

Multiply the length (7 yards) by the width (3 yards): 7 * 3 = 21 square yards.

Final Answer

21 square yards
