Question

The given figure is made up of identical squares. Find the area of the shaded region.

• A. $50c{m}^2$
• B. $54c{m}^2$
• C. $58c{m}^2$
• D. $52c{m}^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $52c{m}^2$

Area of one square $=(2\times 2)c{m}^2=4c{m}^2$
Number of shaded squares $=13$
$\therefore$ Area of shaded figure $=(13\times 4)c{m}^2$
$=52c{m}^2$.
