Question

What is the area of the given shape?

• A. $3c{m}^2$
• B. $2c{m}^2$
• C. $4c{m}^2$
• D. $5c{m}^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $4c{m}^2$

The given figure (also known as a pentagon) has 5 sides. Number of fully covered boxes = 2
Area = 2 sq. cm
Number of boxes that are covered more than half= 2
Area = 2 sq. cm
Number of boxes that are covered less than half = 6
Area = 0 sq. cm
Total area = (2 + 2 + 0) sq. cm
= 4 sq. cm
