one easy way to do it is by finding the area of the 4 triangles.
because the top two and the bottom two are the same that helps a lot. The first triangle is 9 times three and then cut your answer in half. Do the same thing for the other 9 times three triangle you will end up with 27. for the top two you would multiply 3 times two to get 6 cut 6 in half to get 3. do the same or the other triangle and now you just have to add.
