Question

use the figure to the right to find its area in square units. the area of the figure is square units.

Explanation:

Step1: Count columns and rows

Looking at the grid, assume it has 6 columns and 10 rows (or vice versa, but area is product). Let's confirm: if we count the number of small squares horizontally (columns) and vertically (rows). Suppose columns = 6, rows = 10.

Step2: Calculate area

Area of a rectangle (grid) is \( \text{columns} \times \text{rows} \). So \( 6 \times 10 = 60 \) (or if rows=6 and columns=10, same result).

Answer:

60
