Answer 1

72

Explanation:

First. I counted the triangles. Then, I found the area of one triangle. Since the area of a triangle is (base*height)/2, I found the area of one triangle this way: 6x6=36. 36/2=16. After that, I then multiplied the area of the one triangle by four, since there are four triangles. 16x4=72
