Answer:
17 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
area is equal to base multiplied to height by 2
base=3.23 in
height=5.12in
area of one triangle = 5.12 * 3.23/2
= 16.536/2
= 8.2688
these triangles are congruent so area of other triangle is also equal to 8.2688
total area= 2*8.2688
= 16.5376
round off
answer =17 in²
