To solve the problem of finding the area in square units for each shape, we need to count the number of individual squares that make up each shape. Let's go through each shape step by step:
---
Shape 1:
- The shape is a rectangle.
- Count the number of rows and columns:
- Rows: 3
- Columns: 4
- Total squares = Rows × Columns = 3 × 4 = 12
Area = 12 sq. units
---
Shape 2:
- The shape consists of two separate rectangles.
- Each rectangle has:
- Rows: 3
- Columns: 2
- Total squares in one rectangle = 3 × 2 = 6
- Since there are two such rectangles, total squares = 6 + 6 = 12
Area = 12 sq. units
---
Shape 3:
- The shape is a square.
- Count the number of rows and columns:
- Rows: 4
- Columns: 4
- Total squares = Rows × Columns = 4 × 4 = 16
Area = 16 sq. units
---
Shape 4:
- The shape is an irregular figure.
- Count each square individually:
- Top row: 4 squares
- Middle row: 3 squares
- Bottom row: 2 squares
- Total squares = 4 + 3 + 2 = 9
Area = 9 sq. units
---
Shape 5:
- The shape is an irregular figure.
- Count each square individually:
- Top row: 4 squares
- Middle row: 4 squares
- Bottom row: 3 squares
- Total squares = 4 + 4 + 3 = 11
Area = 11 sq. units
---
Shape 6:
- The shape is an irregular figure.
- Count each square individually:
- Top row: 5 squares
- Middle row: 2 squares
- Bottom row: 2 squares
- Total squares = 5 + 2 + 2 = 9
Area = 9 sq. units
---
