Answer:

63.3 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = 20 ft, B = 15 ft, c = 9ft

$s=\frac{a+b+c}{2}$

$s=\frac{20+15+9}{2}$

$s=\frac{44}{2}$

$s=22\: ft$

$Area \: of \:\triangle = \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)} \\ \\ = \sqrt{22(22 - 20)(22 - 15)(22 - 9)} \\ \\= \sqrt{22 \times 2 \times 7 \times 13} \\ \\= \sqrt{44 \times 91} \\ \\ = \sqrt{4,004} \\ \\ = 63.2771681 \\ \\ \approx 63.3 \: {ft}^{2}$

Important:
   The sum of the three angles inside
      every triangle is always 180°.

First, look at the left triangle alone.
Two of its angles are 46° and 58° . (46° + 58° ) = 104°
That leaves (180° - 104° ) = 76° degrees for the third angle.
The third angle in that triangle is 'x'.
   x = 76° .

At the point where 'x' and 'z' come together:
'x' and 'z' are a "linear pair".
Placed side-by-side, they form a straight line.
So (x + z) = 180° .
But x = 76°.
So z = (180° - 76°).    z = 104° .

Now look at the the skinny triangle on the right alone.
The angle at the top is 13°, and z = 104°.
(13° + 104°) = 117° .
That leaves (180° - 117°) = 63° for the third angle.
'y' is the third angle.
   y = 63° .
