the rectangle has an area of 48in. because 4x11 = 48. The triangles have a base of 6 because 12 ÷ 2=6. the formula for area of a triangle is BxHx1/2 and the height is 3in so 6x3= 18 and 18x1/2=9 and there is two triangles and the other has the same area. Then you add up the area of everything so 48+9+9 = 66
