Heyyy i need some help here if that's okay with y'all :)

225

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the area of the sqare so 5x5 would be 25.

Next, find the area of the triangle, the formula for that is 1/2 base x height. Here the base is 5 in and the height is 20 so that would be (5 x 20) 1/2 which equals 50. Then, because there are 4 triangles multiply the fifty 4 times, 200.

Then take the 25 from the square and add it to the 200 to get your answer of 225!

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2

+2+=+%2836%2fx%29%5e2+

+2+=+1296%2fx%5e2+
