Answer:
180
Step-by-step explanation:
For each of the two right triangles, by the Pythagorean theorem, she shared side is of length 15. So, the area of each of the top two rectangles is (½)(8)(15), so their combined area is 120.
Moving onto the trapezoid, we can use the formula for the area of a trapezoid to determine its area is (½)(14+16)(4)=60.
So, the answer is 120+60=180.
