Given a right angled triangle $ABC$ in which $\angle ACB = 90^o$. Let $D$ be an inner point of $AB$, and let $E$ be an inner point of $AC$. It is known that $\angle ADE = 90^o$, and that the length of the segment $AD$ is $8$, the length of the segment $DE$ is $15$, and the length of segment $CE$ is $3$. What is the area of triangle $ABC$?
