What is the answer to this, I need an explanation please ASAP

Answer:
323 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Separate the figure on the left into two figures, a trapezoid and a square
The area of a trapezoid is
A = 1/2 (b1+b2)h
A = 1/2 (12+15)*7
= 1/2 (28)7
98 ft^2
The area of a square is
A = s^2
= 15^2
= 225 ft^2
Add the areas together
A total = 98+225 =323 ft^2
