Answer:

C. 8 cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

If the big square is 64 cm2, then each side is 8 cm (8cm x 8cm = 64 cm2)

Each of the small squares then has both sides of half the side of the big one, then, each small square has 4cm x 4cm = 16 cm2

Ihen, each small triangle's area (such as ABH) is (b.h)/2, being the base and the height equal to the sides of the small square. Each small triangle is (4cm x 4cm)/2=8cm2
