Question

The area of the following figure is sq ft.

• A. 16
• B. 14
• C. 12
• D. 6

Answer 1

The correct option is A 16

Number of horizontal tiles in each row of the figure = 4
Number of vertical tiles in each column of the figure = 4

So,
Total number of tiles = Number of tiles on each row × Number of tiles in each column
⇒ Total number of tiles = 4 × 4 = 16

Area of 1 tile = 1 × 1 sq. ft = 1 sq. ft

∴ Area of the figure will be:
= Area of each tile × Total Number of tiles

So, area of the figure is
= 1 sq ft. × 16 = 16 sq ft.
