What's the area of this yellow surface? pick one of the options.

28 in^2

Divide shape into one rectangle and two squares:

Area of rectangle:
10 x 2 = 20 in^2

Area of one square:
2 x 2 = 4 in^2

Multiply that by 2 because we have 2 squares similar in size:
4 in^2 x 2 = 8 in^2

Add the area of the rectangle and two squares:
20 in^2 + 8 in^2 = 28 in^2

Have a nice day
Hope this helps!

Ithink the answer may be -7 by when dividing both sides by -3
