Final answer:

The Summer Triangle is an asterism featuring three bright stars from different constellations. The 'two small areas' inside it could reference the constellations Delphinus and Sagitta, though the question lacks clarity. Without more context, it is difficult to provide a specific answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Summer Triangle is an asterism (a pattern of stars recognized in the night sky) rather than an official constellation. It is composed of three bright stars from three separate constellations: Vega from Lyra, Deneb from Cygnus, and Altair from Aquila. The question about 'two small areas' inside the Summer Triangle is somewhat unclear, as there are multiple deep sky objects within this region, but they are not commonly referred to as 'small areas'.

One possibility is that the question refers to the two notable constellations inside the Summer Triangle, which are the Dolphin (constellation Delphinus) and the Arrow (constellation Sagitta). However, without more context, it is challenging to provide a definitive answer. If the student was referring to specific deep sky objects or nebulae, further clarification would be required to provide accurate information.
