Question

In the given figure, if the area of one rectangle is 1 $c{m}^2$, then what is the area of the shaded region?

• A. 8 $c{m}^2$
• B. 10 $c{m}^2$
• C. 7 $c{m}^2$
• D. 20 $c{m}^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is C

7 $c{m}^2$

In the given figure, we have 7 rectangles that are shaded.


Since, area occupied by each rectangle = 1 $c{m}^2$
Therefore, area occupied by 7 rectangles (shaded region) = $7\times 1c{m}^2$ = $7c{m}^2$
