Question

Find the area of the given figure, if each small square is a unit square.

Answer 1

To find the area let's count the number of unit squares inside the figure.
But we will not count the unit square if the portion of figure inside the unit square is less than half of it.

So the number of unit squares inside the figure = 12
Hence the area of the figure = 12 x 1 sq unit = 12 sq units.
