Answer 1

`144 in^(2)`

Explanation:

We can see in the figure that you have 4 triangles, all congruent, and 1 square in the middle. The measure of the square is 8x8, so first find the area of that, 64. Then, we only need to find the area of 1 triangle and multiply that by 4, as you have 4 triangles in the figure. The area of a triangle is (base×height)/2 so fill in the values. The base is 8 in, and the height is 5 in. 5×8 is 40, so we divide that by 2 and get 20. Then multiply this by 4, and you get 80. Now, take your original area of the square, and add it to the area of the 4 triangles. 64+80=144

Hope this helps!
