Question

1. be precise inez finds that the area of this figure is 9 square units. draw unit squares to cover this figure.

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the figure

The given figure is a square (from the visual) with area 9 square units. Since the area of a square is \( \text{side}^2 \), we find the side length by solving \( \text{side}^2 = 9 \), so the side length is 3 units (because \( 3\times3 = 9 \)).

Step2: Draw unit squares

A unit square has a side length of 1 unit. To cover a square with side length 3 units, we can divide the figure into a 3 - by - 3 grid of unit squares. So we draw 3 rows and 3 columns of unit squares inside the given figure. Each unit square will have a side length of 1 unit, and when we place 3 in each row and 3 in each column, the total number of unit squares will be \( 3\times3=9 \), which matches the area of the figure.

Answer:

To cover the figure (a square with area 9 square units, side length 3 units), draw a 3 - by - 3 grid of unit squares (each with side length 1 unit) inside the given square figure. So there will be 3 rows and 3 columns of unit squares, totaling 9 unit squares.
