A triangle is a polygon. The total area of the figure can be represented by 12a, (6a+b), and 2b cm².
What is a triangle?
A triangle is a polygon with 3 sides and 3 vertices.
Since the area of a single triangle is a cm², and the shape is formed of 12 triangles, therefore, the area of the 12 triangles will be equal to,
[tex]\text{Area of the complete figure} = 12 \times a = 12a\rm \ cm^2[/tex]
Given that the area of the complete dark portion is b cm², therefore, the area of the 6 triangles with a cm² of area each, and the black portion can be written as,
[tex]\text{Area of the complete figure} = (6 \times a)+b = (6a+b)\rm \ cm^2[/tex]
As the dark portion also consists of 6 triangles with an area of a cm² each and the total sum of this dark area is b cm². Also, the light portion consists of 6 triangles with an area of a cm². Therefore, the total area can be written as,
[tex]\text{Total area} = 6a+6a = b+b = 2b\rm\ cm^2[/tex]
Thus, the total area of the figure can be represented by 12a, (6a+b), and 2b cm².
