Geometry length problem

[coooool222]

Hello I have no clue about what this problem is asking me. I looked in the solution and it said 2+2 sqrt 3. It also said the sides were 2 sqrt 3 / 3

how can the sides be 2 sqrt 3 / 3 if it clearly says in the text that the sides are 2

The shape shown connects 4 vertices of a square. See the small circles? Connect them to make a square. The sides of this square are 2.

They mean that the sides of the Y's are [imath]\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}[/imath], not the sides of the square.
