Question

6 binh uses unit squares to measure the area of a playground. each unit square is 1 square foot. what is the area of the playground?

Explanation:

Step1: Count the rows and columns

Count the number of unit - square rows and columns in the playground figure. Assume there are $m$ rows and $n$ columns.

Step2: Calculate the area

The area $A$ of a rectangle (formed by unit squares) is given by the product of the number of rows and the number of columns, i.e., $A = m\times n$. Suppose by counting we find there are 8 rows and 6 columns. Then $A=8\times6 = 48$ square feet.

Answer:

48 square feet
