Transcript text: Find the area of the figure pictured below. Area $=$ $\square$ $y d^{2}$

Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Divide the figure into two rectangles

The given L-shaped figure can be divided into two rectangles. Let's label them as Rectangle A and Rectangle B.

Step 2: Calculate the area of Rectangle A

Rectangle A has dimensions 2.7 yards (height) and 9.3 yards (width). \[ \text{Area of Rectangle A} = 2.7 \, \text{yd} \times 9.3 \, \text{yd} = 25.11 \, \text{yd}^2 \]

Step 3: Calculate the area of Rectangle B

Rectangle B has dimensions 2.4 yards (height) and 7.9 yards (width). \[ \text{Area of Rectangle B} = 2.4 \, \text{yd} \times 7.9 \, \text{yd} = 18.96 \, \text{yd}^2 \]

Step 4: Sum the areas of both rectangles

Add the areas of Rectangle A and Rectangle B to find the total area of the L-shaped figure. \[ \text{Total Area} = 25.11 \, \text{yd}^2 + 18.96 \, \text{yd}^2 = 44.07 \, \text{yd}^2 \]

Final Answer

\[ \text{Area} = 44.07 \, \text{yd}^2 \]
