While calculating the area of a figure using squared paper we need to follow some points.
- If more than half a square is in the region, count it as full sq. unit, because in that case it is counted as one square.
- If exactly half the square is covered, take its area as half sq. units.
- Ignore portions of area that are less than half a square.
