Question

5 what is the difference between the area of figure a and the area of figure b? each grid square represents 1 square foot. a 2 ft² b 4 ft² c 8 ft² d 10 ft²

Explanation:

Step1: Count squares for Figure A

Count the number of grid - squares in Figure A. There are 10 full - squares. So the area of Figure A, $A_A=10$ square feet.

Step2: Count squares for Figure B

Count the number of grid - squares in Figure B. There are 6 full - squares. So the area of Figure B, $A_B = 6$ square feet.

Step3: Calculate the difference

Find the difference between the two areas: $A_A - A_B=10 - 6=4$ square feet.

Answer:

B. $4\ ft^{2}$
