You didnt give us the actual pic so im going to assume this one is okay|dw:1421563637224:dw|Here's what I did: Using the formular for area of a triangle (0.5bh) I found the area of a top triangle, multiplied it by two since there's two of them, found the area of a bottom triangle, multiplied by two, then added the two for the total area of all four triangles.
