#10 190 yd²

Explanation:

Step1: Find total height of shape

$4 + 5 = 9$ yd

Step2: Calculate area of full rectangle

$11 \times 9 = 99$ yd²

Step3: Find width of white rectangle

$11 - 7 = 4$ yd

Step4: Calculate area of white rectangle

$4 \times 5 = 20$ yd²

Step5: Subtract white area from total

$99 - 20 = 79$ yd²

Answer:

$79$ yd²
