To solve the problem of calculating the area of each shape by counting the squares, we need to count the number of individual squares in each grid. Each square represents 1 square unit (as indicated by the legend: "1 sq unit"). Let's go through each shape step by step:
---
Shape 1:
- The grid has 3 rows and 4 columns.
- Total squares = \( 3 \times 4 = 12 \).
-
Area = 12 sq units.
---
Shape 2:
- The grid has 5 rows and 6 columns.
- Total squares = \( 5 \times 6 = 30 \).
-
Area = 30 sq units.
---
Shape 3:
- The grid has 3 rows and 4 columns.
- Total squares = \( 3 \times 4 = 12 \).
-
Area = 12 sq units.
---
Shape 4:
- The grid has 5 rows and 5 columns.
- Total squares = \( 5 \times 5 = 25 \).
-
Area = 25 sq units.
---
Shape 5:
- The grid has 4 rows and 7 columns.
- Total squares = \( 4 \times 7 = 28 \).
-
Area = 28 sq units.
---
Shape 6:
- The grid has 4 rows and 4 columns.
- Total squares = \( 4 \times 4 = 16 \).
-
Area = 16 sq units.
---
Shape 7:
- The grid has 6 rows and 6 columns.
- Total squares = \( 6 \times 6 = 36 \).
-
Area = 36 sq units.
---
Shape 8:
- The grid has 3 rows and 6 columns.
- Total squares = \( 3 \times 6 = 18 \).
-
Area = 18 sq units.
---
Shape 9:
- The grid has 5 rows and 6 columns.
- Total squares = \( 5 \times 6 = 30 \).
-
Area = 30 sq units.
---
Shape 10:
- The grid has 2 rows and 8 columns.
- Total squares = \( 2 \times 8 = 16 \).
-
Area = 16 sq units.
---
Shape 11:
- The grid has 7 rows and 7 columns.
- Total squares = \( 7 \times 7 = 49 \).
-
Area = 49 sq units.
---
Shape 12:
- The grid has 5 rows and 5 columns.
- Total squares = \( 5 \times 5 = 25 \).
-
Area = 25 sq units.
---
