The answer is 105 unitsĀ²

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the middle is a square, the base of all 4 triangles are equal.

Let x be the height of the triangles.

The height of the triangle can be defined as:

15 = 7 + x + x

15 = 7 + 2x

15 - 7 = 2x

x = 8/2

x = 4

Area = area of square + 4(area of triangle)

= (7 x 7) + 4(1/2(7)(4))

= 49 + 56

= 105 unitsĀ²
