I 'cheated' a bit because I ran off and graphed it.

Here is the graph.

I expected it to be a parallelogram and it was.

(I can talk more about this if you want me too)

The easiest way to find the area is to split it into 2 congruent trianges

base = 8 units and height = 3 units

Area =   $${\mathtt{2}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}\left({\frac{{\mathtt{1}}}{{\mathtt{2}}}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{8}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{3}}\right) = {\mathtt{24}}$$   units squared.
