an architect designed a mountain lodge with special viewing windows on the top floor. how many square yards of glass will it take to make in large window?

Explanation
to find the area of the glass, we can divide the shape into 2 more known shapes, a triangle and a rectangle
so
total area= area of the rectangle(green)+area of the triangle(yellow)
the area of a rectagle is given by:
[tex]\text{Area}_{rectangle}=base\cdot heigth[/tex]and for the triangle, the area is
[tex]\text{Area}_{triangle}=\frac{1}{2}base\cdot height[/tex]then replace
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{total area=(2 yd }\cdot1\text{ yd)+}\frac{\text{(2 yd }\cdot\text{ 2 yd)}}{2} \\ \text{total area=2 yd}^2+2yd^2 \\ \text{total area=}4yd^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]so, the answer is
[tex]4yd^2[/tex]I hope this helps you
