Question

Find the areas of the following figure by counting squares: (Take all measurements in cm and each side of the smallest drawn square 1 cm )

• A. 13 $c{m}^2$
• B. 8 $c{m}^2$
• C. 9 $c{m}^2$
• D. 12 $c{m}^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is B 8 $c{m}^2$

Fully-filled squares = 3
More than half-filled squares = 5
Half-filled squares = 0
Less than half-filled squares = 9 (neglected by convention)

Total area of the given figure = (3 + 5) $c{m}^2$ = 8 $c{m}^2$.
