So :

?
First, you want to bring everything together on the top of the fraction.
12=24/2 so you can have

Add like terms -- 12 +24 = 36

Answer:
978 in^2
Step-by-step explanation:
the area of the rectangle:
24in X 30in = 720 in^2
the area of the two similar triangles:
12 X 9 / 2 + 12 X 9 / 2 = 108 in^2
the area of the last triangle:
20 in X 15 in /2 = 150in^2
.
the total area is the sum of the areas:
720in^2 + 108in^2 + 150in^2 = 978in^2.
We find the value for s here.
8s = 1/2

1/2 divided by 8/1 = 1/2 * 1/8 = 1/16
s = 1/16
