i believe the area is 33 square units

Step-by-step explanation:
if you draw the lines to make the middle a rectangle and the sides triangles, you can solve for them individually and then add them together.
you can solve for one side triangle as if it were a square though because there are 2 side triangles that equal one square. see attached image for the equations
