Left over Area $= 1023$ $=1023" "$ square inches

Explanation:

left over area=rectangle area- triangle area

left over area $= l \cdot w - \frac{1}{2} \cdot b \cdot h$ $=l*w-1/2*b*h$

left over area $= 38 \cdot 36 - \frac{1}{2} \cdot 30 \cdot 23$ $=38*36-1/2*30*23$

Left over Area $= 1023$ $=1023 " "$ square inches

God bless...I hope the explanation is useful.
