Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's do the smaller parts at the edge.
The formula for a triangle is 1/2bh
The base is 3 the height is 4
3 times 4 is 12
12 divided by 2 is 6
Since there are two of the same triangle on the edge both of the triangle's area is 6 which is 12
No for the upper triangle, the base is 6 and the height is 4
4 times 6 is 24
24 divided by 2 is 12
12 plus 12 is 24
The answer is
The area of the shaded parts of the triangle is 24 in^2
Hope this helps!
