Answer:
[tex]24\frac{5}{9}\text{ square yards}[/tex]Explanation:
The given figure is a parallelogram with the dimensions:
• Base = 4⅓ yd
,• Height = 5⅔ yd
The area of a parallelogram is calculated using the formula below:
[tex]\text{Area}=\text{Base}\times Height[/tex]Substitute the values:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Area}=4\frac{1}{3}\times5\frac{2}{3} \\ =\frac{13}{3}\times\frac{17}{3} \\ =\frac{221}{9} \\ =24\frac{5}{9}\text{ square yards} \end{gathered}[/tex]
