Answer:

300 square units.

Explanation:

This figure is a kite. The area of the triangle with two equal sides of 15 is

Top Triangle

Area = 1/2 a * b

a = 24

b = 9

Area = 1/2 * 24 * 9

Area = 12 * 9

Area = 108

Bottom triangle

Area = 1/2 a * b

Area = 1/2 * 24 * 16

Area = 192

Total Area

108 + 192 = 300
