Answer:
40 in.²
Explanation:
First, you have to find the area of the triangle, which you then multiply by 4 (because there are 4 triangles):
A=1/2(bh)
A=1/2(3x4)
A=1/2(12)
A=6
6x4=24 in.²
Next, you have to find the area of the square:
A=bh
A=4x4
A=16
Now, add 24 and 16 together to get your answer of 40 in.².
