Question

find the area of the figure. (sides meet at right angles.)

Explanation:

Step1: Split into two rectangles

Top rectangle: 2yd×5yd; Bottom rectangle: 6yd×(7-5)yd=6yd×2yd

Step2: Calculate top area

$2×5 = 10$ (yd²)

Step3: Calculate bottom area

$6×2 = 12$ (yd²)

Step4: Sum the areas

$10 + 12 = 22$ (yd²)

Answer:

22 yd²
