so because the shape is broken down into right triangles we’ll just use the formula
A = ab/2
and because all of our “a” and “b” are the same
a = 4
b = 3
once we’ve found one triangle
A (one triangle) = 4•3/2
A (one triangle) = 6
we can multiple our answer by 4 to find the total of our whole shape
A = 6•4
A = 24
your answer is 24 in
