Default area of a rectangle having two sides equal and two sidesdiffferen

Think of this as being a rectangle of 90ft across and 66ft high plus a
triangle which sticks out a further 60ft (150ft - 90ft) and is also
66ft high. The area is thus that of a rectangle (90 x 66) plus that of
a triangle (1/2 x base x perpendicular height, or 60 x 66 / 2).

Hope this helps, though I'm not sure what it has to do with Excel.
