Answer:

  • 15 unit²

Explanation:

ASHY is the square with the side of 5.

DYES is the rhombus since all sides are same and diagonals are perpendicular.

The area of the rhombus is the difference of the area of the big square and the sum of small squares and triangles:

  • A = 5² - (2*1² + 4*(1/2*1*4)) = 25 - (2 + 8) = 25 - 10 = 15
