From your problem description, I understand that you have an equilateral triangle with each side equal to 2 cm.
===========================================================================
we need to find the altitude of the triangle. We use the theorem of Pythagoras,
1^2 + x^2 = 2^2
1 + x^2 = 4
x = square root(3)
===========================================================================
A = 1/2 *2 *square root(3)
A = square root(3) cm's

--------
Looking at one of the equilatera triangles:::
Draw an altitude (a)
---
That forms 2 right triangles.
base = 1 ; side = 2
a = sqrt[1+2^2} = sqrt(5)
Area of the right triangle = (1/2)base*altitude = (1/2)1*sqrt(5)
---
Area of the equilateral triangle = sqrt(5)
----
Area of the 12 equilateral triangles = 12sqrt(5)
