Question

The grid you see below is in the shape of a reactangle. What is the area, in square units of the shaded part?

Answer 1

We need to count the number of squares for the length and the width

lenght= L

width=W

L=11

W=5

Area of the complete rectangle

AR=L*W= 11*5=55 u^2

the shaded area is the half of the area of the rectangle

AS= shaded area

AS=55/2=27.5

AS=27.5 u^2
