The total area of the figurte is 462 square feet.

How to find the area of the figure?

We can decompose this figure into two rectangles.

One of the rectangles is of 15ft by 26 ft (the left one, which is the larger)

While the other rectangle has a height of 8ft, and a base of B = (26ft - 15ft) = 9ft

The total area is the sum of the two individual areas, we will get:

Area = 15ft*26ft + 8ft*9ft =462 ft²
