Question

problem 4 each small square in the graph paper represents 1 square unit. find the area of each figure. explain your reasoning.

Explanation:

Step1: Count full - squares for figure A

Count the number of full - squares inside figure A. There are 6 full - squares.

Step2: Combine half - squares for figure A

There are 4 half - squares. Since 4 half - squares make 2 full - squares. The total number of squares for figure A is \(6 + 2=8\) square units.

Step3: Count full - squares for figure B

Count the number of full - squares inside figure B. There are 8 full - squares.

Step4: Combine half - squares for figure B

There are 6 half - squares. Since 6 half - squares make 3 full - squares. The total number of squares for figure B is \(8+3 = 11\) square units.

Answer:

The area of figure A is 8 square units.
The area of figure B is 11 square units.
