Step 1) Divide up the figure
In this figure, we have one large triangle, one square, and one rectangle. The triangle has a base of 15 feet and a height of 23 feet. The square is 5 feet by 5 feet. The rectangle is 6 feet by 17 feet.
Step 2) Find the area of each shape in the figure
Triangle: A = 1/2 x 15 x 23 = 172.5 square feet
Square: A = 5 x 5 = 25 square feet
Rectangle: A = 6 x 17 = 102 square feet
Step 3) Add the areas of each shape together
A = 172.5 + 25 + 102 = 299.5 square feet
Hope this helps! :)
