Problem Statement

In triangle ABC,ABC, AB=13,AB=13, BC=14,BC=14, AC=15,AC=15, and point GG is the intersection of the medians. Points A,A', B,B', and C,C', are the images of A,A, B,B, and C,C, respectively, after a 180180^\circ rotation about G.G. What is the area if the union of the two regions enclosed by the triangles ABCABC and ABC?A'B'C'?
