To find the area of each shape, we count the number of squares inside it. The problem states that each square is 1 inch wide and tall, so each square equals
1 square inch.
Here are the counts for each numbered shape:
1) Count the squares: There are
5 squares.
2) Count the squares: There are
6 squares.
3) Count the squares: There are
4 squares.
4) Count the squares: There are
5 squares.
5) Count the squares: There are
4 squares.
6) Count the squares: There are
5 squares.
7) Count the squares: There are
6 squares.
8) Count the squares: There are
4 squares.
9) Count the squares: There are
4 squares.
10) Count the squares: There are
5 squares.
11) Count the squares: There are
4 squares.
12) Count the squares: There are
3 squares.
13) Count the squares: There are
4 squares.
14) Count the squares: There are
4 squares.
15) Count the squares: There are
5 squares.
16) Count the squares: There are
3 squares.
Final Answer:
1) 5 sq in
2) 6 sq in
3) 4 sq in
4) 5 sq in
5) 4 sq in
6) 5 sq in
7) 6 sq in
8) 4 sq in
9) 4 sq in
10) 5 sq in
11) 4 sq in
12) 3 sq in
13) 4 sq in
14) 4 sq in
15) 5 sq in
16) 3 sq in
