To estimate the area of each shape on the 1 in. square grid, count the number of full squares and partial squares covered by each shape. For partial squares, estimate their combined area by grouping them into full squares (e.g., two half squares = one full square).
- Shape A: Covers approximately 14 full and partial squares.
- Shape B: Covers approximately 25 full and partial squares.
- Shape C: Covers approximately 11 full and partial squares.
- Shape D: Covers approximately 20 full and partial squares.
- Shape E: Covers approximately 17 full and partial squares.
- Shape F: Covers approximately 10 full and partial squares.
Ordering the shapes from least to greatest area:
F, C, A, E, D, B
