Question

the area of the polygon shown in the figure is
34 square units
17 square units
36 square units
72 square units

Explanation:

Step1: Count the length of the side

By counting the grid units, we find that the length of the side of the square is 6 units.

Step2: Calculate the area

The formula for the area of a square is \(A = s^2\) (where \(s\) is the side - length). Substituting \(s = 6\) into the formula, we get \(A=6\times6 = 36\) square units.

Answer:

36 square units
