Question

Can someone help me find the area of this figure ? Thanks!

Answer 1

• 25 units²

Explanation:

We know that:

• Some squares are 100% shaded, and some are half shaded.
• Half shaded squares: 10 squares
• 100% shaded: 20 squares
• Area of figure = Area of half shaded + Area of 100% shaded

Solution:

• Area of figure = Area of half shaded + Area of 100% shaded
• => Area of figure = (10 x 1/2) + 20
• => Area of figure = 5 + 20
• => Area of figure = 25 units²

Hence, the area of the figure is 25 units².
