we calculate the area of one trangle and multiply by 2
we apply formula of the triangle area
[tex]A=\frac{b\times h}{2}[/tex]
where b is the base and h the height of the triangle
then replacing
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{6\times5.2}{2} \\ \\ A=15.6 \end{gathered}[/tex]
area of one triangle is 15.6square centimeters
Area of both triangles
[tex]\begin{gathered} 15.6\times2 \\ =31.2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Area of the two triangle bases is 31.2 square centimeters
