Answer: 432 sq ft.
Step-by-step explanation: I decomposed the figure above into halves where the dotted line is drawn. I multiplied 25 x 10 to find the area of the rectangle on the right, pretending for now that it is a complete rectangle, which equals 250. Then, I subtracted 15 from 25, which equals 10, to find the length of the right triangle that’s missing to make the right half of the decomposed figure a rectangle. Then I multiplied 10 x 10, or 10 to the second power divided by 2 because 10 x 10 would be the formula to find a rectangle, and a right triangle is half of a rectangle so you would divide by 2. 10 x 10 divided by 2 because equals 50. 250 - 50 = 200. Next, you do the same thing for the other half of the irregular figure. I subtracted 4 from 25 to get 21. Then, I multiplied 21 x 16 divided by 2 which equals 168. Now, you multiply 25 x 16 which equals 400. 400 - 168 = 232. 200, the answer for the area of the other half of the decomposed figure, must be added to 232 to find your answer for the total area.
