1)  

 
What is the area of the shaded figure
Answer: ___ cm²

Answer: 7


SOLUTION 1 :

Step 1: Area of rectangle using the base of the figure: 3 cm2 x 4 cm2 = 12 cm2

Step 2: Area of unshaded triangle on the left: 12 x 3 x 3 = 4.5 cm2

Step 3: Area of small unshaded triangle: 12 x 1 x 1 = 0.5 cm2

Step 4: Area of shaded figure: 12 cm2 - 4.5 cm2 - 0.5 cm2 = 7 cm2

The area of the shaded figure is 7 cm2.



2)  

 
What is the area of the shaded figure
Answer: ___ cm²

Answer: 25


SOLUTION 1 :

Step 1: Area of the whole grid: 7 cm x 6 cm = 42 cm2

Step 2: Number of unshaded half 1 cm2 squares = 10

Step 3: Number of unshaded squares = 12

Step 4: Area of figure: 42 cm2 - 12 cm2 - (12 x 10) cm2 = 25 cm2

The area of the shaded figure is 25 cm2.



3)  

 
What is the area of the shaded figure
Answer: ___ cm²

Answer: 11.5


SOLUTION 1 :

Step 1: Area of one small square: 1 x 1 = 1 cm2

Step 2: Number of 1 cm2 square =  5

Step 3: Number of half shaded 1 cm2 square = 2

Step 4: Area of half shaded square: 12 x 1 x 1  = 0.5 cm2

Step 5: Area of right angle triangle on the left: 12 x 3 x 3 = 4.5 cm2

Step 6: Area of right angle triangle on the right: 12 x 1 x 2 = 1 cm2

Step 7: Area of shaded figure: 5 cm2 + (2 x 0.5 cm2) + 4.5 cm2 + 1 cm2 = 11. 5 cm2

The area of the shaded figure is 11.5 cm2.



4)  

 
What is the area of the shaded figure
Answer: ___ cm²

Answer: 14


SOLUTION 1 :

Step 1: Area of rectangle around figure: 5 cm2 x 4 cm2 = 20 cm2

Step 2: Number of unshaded 1 cm2 squares in the rectangle = 1

Step 3: Area of unshaded small triangle: 12 x 1 x 1 = 0.5 cm2

Step 4: Area of unshaded medium triangle: 12 x 1 x 2 = 1 cm2

Step 5: Number of small triangles = 6

Step 6: Number of medium triangle = 2

Step 7: Area of figure: 20 cm2 - (6 x 0.5) cm2 - (2 x 1) cm2 -1cm2 = 14 cm2

The area of the shaded figure is 14 cm2.



5)
