What is the area of the shape below?

Answer:
30 yd²
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello There!
The shown figure is a trapezoid
The first thing we need to do is figure out what the formula for area of a trapezoid is
[tex]A=\frac{a+b}{2} h[/tex]
where a and b = bases and h = height
we are given all of the dimensions so all we have to do is plug in the values
a = 9
b = 6
h = 4
[tex]A = \frac{6+9}{2} 4\\6+9=15\\\frac{15}{2} =7.5\\7.5*4=30[/tex]
so we can conclude that the area of the figure is
30 yd²

Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
first you find the area of the rectangle the formula is A=wl
A=6*4=24
Then find the area of the triangle the formula is A =h b/2
A=4 3/2
6
the base is 3 because the whole bottom is 9 but the base of the square is 6 and so 9-6=3
now add them together
24+6=30
