Question

Each small square on the grid is 1 cm².

Which estimate best describes the area of this figure?

15 cm²

20 cm²

25 cm²

35 cm²

Answer 1

25 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

Count each whole box as one cm and count the ones that aren't whole as half a cm and you get 25 units²

Answer 2

Answer: The correct option is option third, i.e.,25 cm square.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure it is easily noticed that the shaded region contains two congruent parallelograms and 4 congruent triangles.

Area of a parallelogram is the product of base and height.

`\text{Area of a parallelogram}=4* 3=12`

The area of a parallelogram is 12 cm square.

Area of a triangle is half of the product of base and height.

`\text{Area of a triangle}=(1)/(2)* 2* 0.25=0.25`

The area of a triangle is 0.25 cm square.

Since there are 2 parallelograms and 4 triangles in the figure, therefore the total area is,

`A=2(12)+4(0.25)`

`A=24+1=25`

Therefore, the area of figure is 25 cm square and the third option is correct.
