The triangle is split into two right triangles; that said, it can be rearranged to a regular square

So just apply the formula for Square
Area

A = l*w

But don’t forget to split 16ft into 8 feet for both right triangles because it was split into two, then find the area of the two triangles and add them together for the final answer

The answer would be 208
