Percent of change will always be positive because the change is an absolute value. As we know, absolute value is always a positive value because you don't pay attention to the direction, only the distance is important.

This polygon is composed of a right triangle and a parallelogram.

The area of right angle :
$A_\Delta=\frac{1}{2}\cdot15\cdot8=\frac{1}{2}\cdot120=\boxed{60\ (cm^2)}$

The area of the parallelogram:
$A_P=15\cdot(13-8)=15\cdot5=\boxed{75\ (cm^2)}$

The area of the polygon is equal: $A=A_\Delta+A_P$

Therefore, the answer is:
$\boxed{\boxed{A=60\ cm^2+75\ cm^2=135\ cm^2}}$
