Answer:

  74.8 square yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The centerline of the path is a rectangle 5.3+2 = 7.3 yards wide and 9.4+2 = 11.4 yards long. The perimeter of that rectangle is 2(7.3+11.4) = 37.4 yards long. The area of the path is this length times the width of the path:

  path area = (37.4 yd)(2 yd) = 74.8 yd²
