Question

Find the area (in sq cm) of the leaf shape, if each square in the grid is of area 1 sq cm.

• A. 10
• B. 11
• C. 12
• D. 13

Answer 1

The correct option is D 13


From the image:
Number of full squares covered (Yellow) = 6
Number of more than half squares covered (green) = 7
Number of less than half squares covered = 8

Area coverd by full squares = 6 x 1 = 6 sq cm
Area covered by more than half squares = 7 x 1 = 7 sq cm
Area covered by less than half squares = 0

So total area of the leaf = 6 + 7 = 13 sq cm
