To determine the area of the lot, you need to know the length and the width of the lot. Let's assume the length of the lot is 17 yards and the width is 11 yards.
The formula to calculate the area of a rectangle is given by:
[tex]\[ \text{Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \][/tex]
Substitute the given values into the formula:
[tex]\[ \text{Area} = 17 \text{ yd} \times 11 \text{ yd} \][/tex]
By multiplying these values:
[tex]\[ \text{Area} = 187 \text{ yd}^2 \][/tex]
So the area of the lot is 187 square yards.
Hence, the correct answer is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{187 \text{ yd}^2} \][/tex]
None of the provided options (A through D) match our calculated area, suggesting that there may be an error in the provided options. As correctly assumed earlier, the area of the lot is indeed 187 square yards.
