This figure is composed of 4 full squares, and 8 triangles.

The area of each square is 1 cm^2

Each triangle is exactly half a square. So, the area of each triangle is half the area of a square.

Sum all the areas together and you'll be done

Answer:

8 cm squared

Explanation:

First, there are 4 whole squares in the center, meaning that there are 4 cm. If you then count the rest, there are 8 halves which is equal to 4 wholes. 4 plus 4 is 8.
