Wawawawawa boggled me a little bit... but finally managed it...seeking alternative approach guys;

kindly note that what i have indicated as ##*## and a ##√## is the correct working ...

Text book answer indicates ##17.5## as answer... will re check my rounding solutions later...

From your sketch, say S is area we want, it seems
[tex]2S=\frac{1}{2}*20^2 (4\alpha)-4*\frac{1}{2}*15\cos \alpha*5-2*\frac{1}{2}*5^2(\pi+2\alpha)[/tex]
where
[tex]\sin\alpha =\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Is it same as your idea ?
