Question

If the area of each square in the grid is 1 $c{m}^2$, then which figure has an area of 14 $c{m}^2$ ?

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$\text{Given, the area of each square in the}\text{grid is}1c{m}^2.$

$\text{By counting the number of squares}\text{contained in each given figure,}\text{we see that:}$

$\text{Area of figure A}=10c{m}^2\text{Area of figure B}=12c{m}^2\text{Area of figure C}=14c{m}^2\text{Area of figure D}=18c{m}^2$
