Now , to find the area
Total area of figure = Area of first Triangle + Area of second triangle
The area of the triangle = ( 1/2 ) x Length x Base
Total area of figure = ( 1/2 ) x ( 36 x 15 ) + ( 1/2 ) x ( 15 x 8 )
= ( 1/2 ) x 540 + ( 1/2 ) x 120
= 270 + 60
= 330 inches²
Therefore , the value is 330 inches²
Hence , The area of the figure is 330 inches²
