Step2: Count half - squares

Count the number of half - squares. For the triangular parts, we can combine the non - full squares. The two non - full triangular parts can be combined to form 4 full - squares (using the formula for the area of a triangle \(A=\frac{1}{2}bh\), and by visual - estimation and combination).
