You should be able to draw an imaginary line between two corners that divides the room into a trapezoid and a triangle. The area of a trapezoid is (a + b)/2 times h

where a and b are bases and h is the height.

The area of a triangle is one half the base times the height.

You can also divide the trapezoid into two triangles and do the triangle thing three times.
