Answer:
Area is 72 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
= Area of three triangles + area of square.
[tex]{ \bf{ = 3 \times ( \frac{1}{2} b \times h) + (s \times s)}}[/tex]
substitute:
[tex]{ \sf{ = ( \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 6) + 2( \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 3) + (6 \times 6)}} \\ = { \sf{18 + 18 + 36}} \\ = { \sf{ {72 \: in}^{2} }}[/tex]
