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. Figure A
• B. Figure B
• C. Figure C
• D. Figure D

Answer 1

The correct option is C Figure C

Given, the area of each square in the grid is 1 $c{m}^2$.
By counting the number of squares contained in each given figure, we can find out its area.

Number of square grids in figure A = 10
$\therefore$ Area of figure A = 10 $c{m}^2$

Number of square grids in figure B = 12
$\therefore$ Area of figure B = 12 $c{m}^2$

Number of square grids in figure C = 14
$\therefore$ Area of figure C = 14 $c{m}^2$

Number of square grids in figure D = 18
$\therefore$ Area of figure D = 18 $c{m}^2$

Hence, we see that area of figure C is $14c{m}^2$.
