Question

Aaron was plotting the shape of his garden on grid paper. While it was an irregular shape, it was perfect for his yard. each square on the grid represents 1 square meter. What is the area of the garden?

pls, add an explanation as well as an answer, i wont open any links, thanks :)

Answer 1

44
`m^(2)`

Explanation:

As the shape contain triangle ,rectangle and square so we calculate the area of all these and then add up.

As one box = 1
`m^(2)`

Area of Triangle=
`(1)/(2)*b*h`

b= 8, h=2

Area of Triangle=
`(1)/(2)*8*2`

Area of Triangle=
`8 m^(2)`

Area of Rectangle=
`l*w`

l=8,w=4

Area of Rectangle=
`8*4\\`

Area of Rectangle=
`32m^(2)`

Area of Square=
`a^(2)`

a=2

Area of Square=
`2^(2)`

Area of Square=
`4m^(2)`

Total Area=
`8 m^(2)`+
`32m^(2)`+
`4m^(2)`=44
`m^(2)`
