Answer:

Welll....from the diagram, you can see you have two triangles  (one on each side)

area of triangle = 1/2 base*height  = 1/2  * 2 x 10   = 10 ft2   each

 then you are left with a rectangle   13 ft x 10 ft = 130 ft^2

130 + 10 + 10 = 150 ft2

   or you could just use the formula for area of parallelogram     base * height = 15 * 10 = 150 square feet
The formula for this would be base x height so 20x15 or 300
