Break this area into two parts, that is, into two trapezoids. The first trapezoid, on the left, has length 8 ft and average length (30 ft + 27 ft)/2, so its area is (8 ft)(28.5 ft) = 228 ft ².
The second trapezoid has width 8 ft and average length (19 + 22)/2 ft, or 8 ft by 20.5 ft). The area of this part is 164 ft².
Thus, the total area is 164 ft² + 228 ft², or 392 ft²
