Question

Area of a shape covering 12 squares =________?

Answer 1

please give side of square

Answer 2

Concept:

The area of a 2D shape is the amount of space contained within its perimeter. It's expressed in square units like $cm^{2}$, $m^{2}$, and so on.

Given:

The shape contains 12 squares.

Find:

Area of the shape.

Solution:

Let each side of the square be a.

Calculate the area of each square

$Area=side *side$

$Area=a*a$

$Area=a^{2}$

Area of 1 square $=a^{2}$

Total number of squares in the shape$=12$

∴ The total area of the shape$= 12*a^{2}=12a^{2}$

Hence the area of the shape is $12a^{2}$.
