Question

What is the area of this rectangle, given each square represents $1$ square unit?

• A. 35

Answer 1

The correct option is A 35
Since, all the squares are of unit length, counting the squares along the height and width of the rectangle, will give us the measure for the height and width.

If we count the squares along the height of the rectangle, we will see that there are $5$ squares.


Similarly, along the width, there are $7$ squares.



Thus the area of the rectangle will be $=5\times 7=35$ square units.


We can verify this by counting the number of squares inside the rectangle, which is also $35$ in number.
