A) about 14 square units
B)about 18 square units
C)about 11 square units
D) about 8 square units

Answer 1

A) about 14u^2

Explanation:

If you combine the two part filled units at the top of the figure, you can see that it makes a full unit.

The visual area is 15, so when you combine the part filled units, it will be about 14.

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

A) about 14 square units

You have 11 fully filled squares 2 that are mostly filled and 2 that are about half filled

So 11+2+2(1/2)= about 14
