Question

Please help people this is my assignment

Answer 1

They are the same

Explanation:

So, as you can see there are 4 empty tiles in the middle. Now imagine that the 4 tiles outside don't exist. the width and height of both squares is the same. It's only the 4 tiles that have been misplaced. Therefore, technically they have the same area. Hope this helps!!

Answer 2

The blue shape and the green shape have the same area.

Explanation:

To determine the area of a shape, count or calculate the coloured tiles that form said shape.

1. Finding the area of the blue shape.

We can tell that the height of this shape is 4 tiles, and the width is 4 tiles too and it's a square. Therefore, the total area of this shape if 4x4, which equals 16. This rule only applies for squares and rectangles.

2. Finding the area of the green shape.

This shape is similar to the blue square, except that it is missing 4 tiles in the middle. But if we count all the green tiles one by one we get to the conclusion that there are 16 tiles in total, same as the blue square. This means that the blue shape and the green shape have the same area.
