The answer should be 95in^2
Explanation:
You’re essentially just finding the area of all the shapes on the triangle and adding them together.
Area of a triangle = 1/2•b•h
Area of a square = l•w or just s2
The area of the triangles given what we have in the diagram can be found with
1/2•5•7 = 17.5
There are 4 triangles so you multiply 17.5 by 4 which gives 70
The base of the triangle (the square) = 25
70+25=95
