You could consider the cross as two intersecting rectangles. Calculate the area of both rectangles and the area of the intersection (overlap). Then area of cross = sum of the areas of the rectangles minus the area of the overlap.
Find the areas of the rectangles and triangles. Add them together.
you just times it by two
You should break it down in to smaller shapes. Two rectangles. Then figure out all the lengths. Multiply to find the area of the two rectangles. then add the products to get the final area.
The area of the circle is equal to the combined area of the rectangles formed by cutting the circle into equal-sized triangles and placing them together side by side. This is because the circumference of the circle is equal to the perimeter of the rectangles, which means the area enclosed by the circle is equal to the area of the rectangles. This concept is known as the "circle packing theorem" in mathematics.
