Question

Vasco needs to know the area of the four-pointed star

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the base

The base is a square.

The formula is Area = s^2

s = 1.5

Area = 1.5^2

Area = 2.25 sq cm.

Area of 1 triangle

h = 2.4

b = 1.5

Area = 1/2 * b * h

Area = 1/2 * 1.5 * 2.4

Area = 1.8 cm^2

Area of 4 triangles

Area = 4 * area of 1 triangle

Area = 4 * 1.8

Area = 7.2

Total Area = 2.25 + 7.2 = 9.45 cm^2
