Answer:

17 in²

Explanation:

area is equal to base multiplied to height by 2

base=3.23 in

height=5.12in

area of one triangle = 5.12 * 3.23/2

= 16.536/2

= 8.2688

these triangles are congruent so area of other triangle is also equal to 8.2688

total area= 2*8.2688

= 16.5376

round off

answer =17 in²
