To find the area of the living room and hallway together, we need to first find the area of each separately and then add them together.
Area of the living room = a * b = 36 ft * 14 ft = 504 ft^2
Area of the hallway = c * d = 18 ft * 18 ft = 324 ft^2
Total area = 504 ft^2 + 324 ft^2 = 828 ft^2
Therefore, the area of the living room and hallway together is 828 ft^2.
Answer: 828 ft^2
