Question

What will be the area covered by the given figure, if area of each square grid is 1 sq.cm?

Answer 1

Number of complete grids occupied (1 to 6)= 6
Number of more than half squares occupied (7 and 8) = 2
Number of exactly half squares occupied (15 and 16) = 2
Number of less than half squares occupied (9 to 14) = 6

$\therefore \text{Area}=6\times 1+2\times 1+2\times \frac{1}{2}+6\times 0$
$\Rightarrow \text{Area}=6+2+1\Rightarrow \text{Area}=9\text{sq cm}$
