Question

Suppose each square on the grids below is 1 cm by 1 cm. Estimate the area of the figure.

about 30 cm2

about 40 cm2

about 20 cm2

about 10 cm2

Answer 1

Option "C" would be the correct answer

Answer 2

About
`20cm^2`

Explanation:

In the given image each of the square has side 1 cm by 1 cm.

If we could count the whole squares in the image we can see that there are about 14 whole squares, then there are 6 squares which are nearly half occupied so that makes about 3 whole squares. And then there are almost 12 squares whose quarter area is enclosed by the lines so that makes about 3 whole squares.

So the total area of the given figure is about
`20 cm^2`.
