Answer:
12 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
If you split up the 4 triangles you would have 8 right triangles
To solve for 1 right triangle you use the formula : 1/2 • l • h
1/2 • 1 • 2 = 1
Since there’s 8 right triangles you do:
8 • 1 = 8
Now the inner shape (a square):
2 • 2 = 4
Add up the areas:
8 + 4 = 12
