Answer:
The correct option is B. 290 square yards
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the required area of the figure :
Divide it into two parts , one is triangle and the other is rectangle
Finding the area of triangle :
Base of triangle = 20 yards , Height of the triangle = 20 - 9 = 11 yards
So, Area of the rectangle = 0.5 × Base × Height
⇒ Area of the rectangle = 0.5 × 20 × 11
= 110 square yards
Finding the area of rectangle :
Length of rectangle = 20 yards
Width of rectangle = 9 yards
So, Area of the rectangle = Length × Width
⇒ Area of the rectangle = 20 × 9
= 180 square yards
Therefore, Area needed to be paved to cover the initial patio = Area of rectangle + Area of the triangle
⇒ Area needed to be paved to cover the initial patio = 110 + 180
= 290 square yards
Hence, The correct option is B. 290 square yards
