Answer:
Area = 14.8
Explanation:
Area = 5/2 + a^2*sqrt(5 + 2 sqrt(5) )
This formula given the side length, calculates the area.
a = 2
Area = 2.5 + 2^2 * sqrt(5 + 2*sqrt(5) )
Area = 2.5 + 4 * sqrt(5 + 2*2.236)
Area = 2.5 + 4* sqrt(5+ 4.4721)
Area = 2.5 + 4*sqrt(9.4721)
Area = 2.5 + 4*3.0776
Area = 2.5 + 12.3107
Area = 14.8107
