Answer:
16cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Count all of the whole squares 1st
the do the ones at the sides
Answer: 16 units squared
If there is units for the grid, use those as your measurements, but if not, use each box to equal 1.
You can solve this by finding the area of a rectangle bigger than the original shape (straighten out diagonal lines)
Once you do this, count the units (boxes) of the length and width of the rectangle (5 X 4)
You would then multiply the length and width to find the area of the rectangle
5 * 4 = 20
..... But you still need to find the parallelogram so you have to subtract the space you filled in
Since the shape is a parallelogram, you can tell that the area filled in is equal on both sides, and when put together, they form a smaller rectangle
This rectangle would be 1 X 4
1 * 4 = 4
Then you have to subtract the smaller rectangle from the larger rectangle
20 - 4 = 16
