Question

The picture below shows a large square with side lengths equal to 1 yd. The

square is divided into smaller squares that are all of equal size. Some of the
smaller squares are shaded, forming a shaded rectangular region.

Answer 1

Explanation:

so, the 1 yard is split into 6 equal parts.

each small square has therefore an area of 1/6 × 1/6 yard² = 1/36 yard²

the shaded area is 4×3 = 12 small squares large.

is area is therefore

12 × 1/36 = 1/3 yard²

since 1 yard = 3 ft, 1 × 1 = 1 yard² = 3 × 3 ft² = 9 ft².

and 1/3 yard² = 1/3 × 9 ft² = 3 ft²

so, whatever dimension you need.

the area is

1/3 yard² = 3 ft²
