From the above figure,
Number of full squares (A) = 5
Number of more than half squares (B) = 5
Number of less than half squares (C) = 8
Number of half squares = 0
Area of full square = 1 cm
2
Approximate area of more than half square = 1 cm
2
Area of half square =
12 cm
2
Approximate area of less than half square = 0
Approximate area of the apple = Number of full squares + Number of more than half squares +
12× Number of half squares + 0
× Number of less than half squares
Approximate area of the apple = [5 + 5]
× 1= 10 cm
