Question

What is the total area occupied by the two figures A and B if the space occupied by each grid is $0.5m{m}^2$?

• A. $12m{m}^2$
• B. $8m{m}^2$
• C. $6m{m}^2$
• D. $10m{m}^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $6m{m}^2$

Given, each grid occupies 0.5 $m{m}^2$.


Number of grids occupied by fig. A = 4
Number of grids occupied by fig. B = 8
Total number of grids occupied by both the figures = 4 + 8 = 12 grids

So, total area occupied by fig. A and fig. B together
= 12 × 0.5 $m{m}^2$ = 6 $m{m}^2$
