Answer:

90 in²

Explanation:

The figure's area is that of four right triangles, each with legs of 6 in and 7.5 in. The area of each triangle is half the product of the leg lengths, so is ...

triangle area = (1/2)(6 in)(7.5 in)

Then the area of 4 of those triangles is ...

figure area = 4 · triangle area = 2(6 in)(7.5 in) = 90 in²
