Answer:
The answer to your question is 16 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Square Triangle
Length of a side 2 in
Base 2 in
Height 3 in
Process
1.- Calculate the area of the square
Area = side x side
-Substitution
Area = 2 x 2
-Result
Area = 4 in²
2.- Calculate the area of the triangle
Area = base x height / 2
-Substitution
Area = 2 x 3/2
-Result
Area = 3 in²
-Multiply the area by four (number of stars)
Area = 4 x 3 = 12 in²
3.- Calculate the area of the star
Area = Area of the square + area of the triangle
-Substitution
Area = 4 + 12 = 16 in²
