Answer: 22 square yards
you can write yd^2 or [tex]yd^{ \ 2}[/tex] to indicate "square yards"
=========================================================
Work Shown:
The triangle has a base of 3+3+2 = 8, and a height of 7
A = area of triangle
A = 0.5*base*height
A = 0.5*8*7
A = 28
The rectangle has a length and width of 3 and 2
B = area of rectangle
B = length*width
B = 3*2
B = 6
The shaded area is the difference of the two areas
C = area of shaded region
C = A - B
C = 28 - 6
C = 22
