Area of the composite shape = 292 yd²
Solution:
The shape is splitted into two rectangles.
The reference image of the answer is attached below.
Length of the top rectangle = 21 yd
Width of the top rectangle = 29 yd – 22 yd = 7 yd
Length of the side rectangle = 29 yd
Width of the side rectangle = 26 yd – 21 yd = 5 yd
Area of the figure = Area of the top rectangle + Area of the side rectangle
= (length × width) + (length × width)
= (21 × 7) + (29 × 5)
= 147 + 145
= 292
Area of the composite shape = 292 yd²
