Question 24… please someone help thank you!

Answer:
72 in^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the square in the middle is
A = s^2 = 6^2 = 36
The area of the triangle on the left is
A =1/2 bh = 1/2 ( 6*6) = 18
The area of the triangle on the right
A = 1/2 bh = 1/2(6*6) = 18
Add the areas together
36+18+18 = 72
Area of the middle square = 6 x 6 = 36
Area of a triangle is 1/2 x base x height:
Area = 1/2 x 6 x 6 = 18
Both triangles have a base of 6 and height of 6 so both triangles have the same area.
Total area = 36 + 18 + 18 = 72 square in.
The answer is D. 72
