Answer:

6

Explanation:

There are 3 parts to each side. All three of them are the same so we only have to find the area of one different parts

Area of One Side

Triangle

The side of a square is 1 square unit.

each leg of the triangle is 1 unit

The area of 1 triangle = 1/2 * 1 * 1 = 1/2

Area of 1 side

There are 3 equal parts (3 triangles) that make up a side.

Area of the three triangles = 3 * 1/2 = 3/2 = 1.5

Area of all 4 sides

4 * 1.5 = 6

The area of the blue colored figure is 6 units.
