Question

1. Estimate the area of the irregular shape. Explain your method and show your work.

Answer 1

Check the picture below.

so each row has a few gaps, but also has a few surplusses, so we can use the surplusses to fill up the gaps, and that will give us more or less 3 + 5 + 4 + 4 units, namekly 16 units.
