Question 1(xi)

Find the area of the given figure by counting squares:

Answer 1

The area is the region enclosed inside the closed figure.

Number of fully filled squares = 4.

Number of half-filled squares = 2.

Area of the figure = Area covered by filled squares + Area covered by half-filled squares.

$\therefore$ Area covered by full filled squares = 4$\times$1 = 4 sq. units.

and Area covered by half-filled squares = 2$\times \frac{1}{2}$= 1 sq. units.

$\therefore$ Total area = 4 + 1 = 5 sq. units.
