Question

The area of the figure given below can be estimated to be sq. cm, if the area of each small square is 1 sq. cm.

• A. 12
• B. 15
• C. 16
• D. 20

Answer 1

The correct option is C 16

Let's count and mark the number of fully covered as well as half covered squares.
No. of fully covered squares = 12
No. of half-covered squares = 8
=> Area = 1 $\times$ 12 + $\frac{1}{2}\times$ 8 = 12 + 4 = 16 sq. cm
