Two sides of a shape are drawn here. Complete the shape by drawing two more sides so that its area is less than 2 square cm.

Answer 1

The given figure comprises of 2 half-filled squares and 2 squares that are less than half-filled. Thus, we will ignore the squares that are less than half filled.

So, area of the given figure = 1 square cm


Therefore, it clearly proves that the area of the figure i.e. 1 square cm is less than 2 square cm.
