To find the area of each rectangle, I need to count the number of square units (the small blue squares) inside each shape. I can do this by counting the rows and columns and multiplying them together.
Rectangle 1:
- Rows: 7
- Columns: 6
- Area = 7 × 6 = 42 square units
Rectangle 2:
- Rows: 3
- Columns: 8
- Area = 3 × 8 = 24 square units
Rectangle 3:
- Rows: 5
- Columns: 5
- Area = 5 × 5 = 25 square units
Rectangle 4:
- Rows: 5
- Columns: 5
- Area = 5 × 5 = 25 square units
Rectangle 5:
- Rows: 4
- Columns: 7
- Area = 4 × 7 = 28 square units
Rectangle 6:
- Rows: 7
- Columns: 2
- Area = 7 × 2 = 14 square units
Rectangle 7:
- Rows: 7
- Columns: 5
- Area = 7 × 5 = 35 square units
Rectangle 8:
- Rows: 7
- Columns: 7
- Area = 7 × 7 = 49 square units
Let me double-check my counts by looking at the grid lines carefully.
1. Rectangle 1: Looking at the grid, it appears to be 6 wide and 7 tall. 6 × 7 = 42. ✓
2. Rectangle 2: It appears to be 8 wide and 3 tall. 8 × 3 = 24. ✓
3. Rectangle 3: It appears to be 5 wide and 5 tall. 5 × 5 = 25. ✓
4. Rectangle 4: It appears to be 5 wide and 5 tall. 5 × 5 = 25. ✓
5. Rectangle 5: It appears to be 7 wide and 4 tall. 7 × 4 = 28. ✓
6. Rectangle 6: It appears to be 2 wide and 7 tall. 2 × 7 = 14. ✓
7. Rectangle 7: It appears to be 5 wide and 7 tall. 5 × 7 = 35. ✓
8. Rectangle 8: It appears to be 7 wide and 7 tall. 7 × 7 = 49. ✓
Final Answer:
1. 42 square units
2. 24 square units
3. 25 square units
4. 25 square units
5. 28 square units
6. 14 square units
7. 35 square units
8. 49 square units
