Explanation
We are asked to find the total area of the figure
To do so, we will split the area into 2 as shown below
For figure A
We have a trapezoid
The area of a trapezoid is
[tex]\begin{gathered} Area=\frac{1}{2}(a+b)\times height \\ b=13 \\ a=3 \\ height=8 \\ area=\frac{1}{2}(13+3)\times8 \\ area=\frac{26}{2}\times8 \\ area=13\times8 \\ area=104yd^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
For figure B
The figure is a parallelogram
The area of a parllelogram is given by
[tex]base\times height=13\times(15-8)=13\times7=91yd^2[/tex]
Therefore, the total area is the sum of the areas of the two figures which will be
[tex]104+91=195yd^2[/tex]
Thus, the area is 195 yd²
