Question

The brown squares show the path taken by Jane from her house to the garden. Find the area of the path. (Each square has a side of 1 unit.)

• A. 15 square units
• B. 16 square units
• C. 17 square units
• D. 18 square units

Answer 1

The correct option is D 18 square units

Number of squares along the path from the house to the garden = 18

Length of the side of the square = 1 unit
Area of each square = $1\times 1$
= 1 square unit

Area of the path = $18\times 1$
= 18 square units
