Let’s solve where they have a triangle, so the height is 9 cm, the base is 3 cm:
1/2 • 9 • 3 = 13.5
Since there’s 2 triangles we do:
13.5(2) = 27
Now the rectangle in the middle, where the height is 9cm and the base is 12cm:
12 • 9 = 108
Add up the areas:
108 + 27 = 135

By the binomial theorem,
Each term containing a factor 6 is divisible by 3, since 3 divides 6. The remaining 1 and 2 sum to 3, which is also divisible by 3.
