I'll just tell you how to do it.

The area of the central (isosceles) triangle below is one-fifteenth of the area of
the regular 15-gon.  
The base of that triangle is one-fifteenth of the perimeter of the regular
15-gon.  That is,  = 12 yds. 
The vertex angle of that isosceles triangle is one-fifteenth of 360�, or 24�.





Find the area of that triangle and multiply it by 15.
The green line is the height of that triangle.
