construction = divide the figure into two parts.
now we have triangle abd and bdc.
first calculate the area of abd.
area of triangle= 1/2×base ×height
area of triangle= 1/2×18×7.5
area of triangle=67.5cm²
second calculate area of bdc
area of triangle=1/2×15.6×11.7
area of triangle=91.26cm²
area of the figure=area of abd + area of bdc
area of the figure=67.5cm²+ 91.26cm²
area of figure=158.76 cm².
