I need to find the area of each shape by counting the square units. Let me work through each one carefully.
Looking at the shapes:
Shape 1: This is a rectangle with 2 rows and 3 columns = 6 squares
Shape 2: This is a square with 2 rows and 2 columns = 4 squares
Shape 3: This is a square with 3 rows and 3 columns = 9 squares
Shape 4: This is a rectangle with 1 row and 3 columns = 3 squares
Shape 5: This is a square with 3 rows and 3 columns = 9 squares
Shape 6: This is an L-shape. Let me count: top has 2 squares, middle has 1 square on the left, bottom has 2 squares on the left = 2 + 1 + 2 = 5 squares
Shape 7: This is a rectangle with 2 rows and 4 columns = 8 squares
Shape 8: This is a T-shape. Top row has 3 squares, second row has 1 square in the middle, third row has 1 square in the middle = 3 + 1 + 1 = 5 squares
Shape 9: This is an L-shape rotated. Left column has 3 squares, then 2 more squares extending right from the bottom = 3 + 2 = 5 squares
Let me double-check my counts:
- Shape 1: ✓ 6 squares
- Shape 2: ✓ 4 squares
- Shape 3: ✓ 9 squares
- Shape 4: ✓ 3 squares
- Shape 5: ✓ 9 squares
- Shape 6: Counting again - it looks like 2 squares on top, 1 square below the left one, 2 squares at bottom left = 5 squares ✓
- Shape 7: ✓ 8 squares
- Shape 8: Top row 3, middle 1, bottom 1 = 5 squares ✓
- Shape 9: Left side 3 tall, then 2 more going right = 5 squares ✓
Final Answer:
1. 6
2. 4
3. 9
4. 3
5. 9
6. 5
7. 8
8. 5
9. 5
