Find the area of this irregular figure. Please explain in steps how you did it so I know how to do it for the next question please its not needed but would be appreciated

Work Shown:
A = area of the rectangle
A = length*width
A = 26*15
A = 390 square feet
B = area of the triangle
B = base*height/2
B = 8*9/2
B = 72/2
B = 36 square feet
C = total area
C = A+B
C = 390+36
C = 426 square feet
