Question

A tile installer plots an irregular shape on grid paper. Each square on the grid represents 1 square centimeter. What is the area of the irregular shape?

Answer 1

• Area of figure = 34 cm²

Explanation:

We know that:

• Area of figure = Area of triangle + Area of rectangle + Area of parallelogram
• 1 square = 1 cm²

Solution:

• Area of figure = (1/2 x 4 x 2) + (3 x 5) + (3 x 5)
• => Area of figure = (4) + (15) + (15)
• => Area of figure = 34 cm²
