Question

what percentage of the shape is green? write your answer using a percent sign (%).

Explanation:

Step1: Count total and green squares

The shape is a \(10\times10\) grid, so total squares \(= 10\times10 = 100\).
Green squares: Let's count. The green part has 6 columns (first 6) and 9 full rows, plus 1 row with 5? Wait, no, looking at the grid: first 6 columns, rows 1 - 8 are full (6 each), row 9: 5? Wait, no, better: Let's see, the grid is 10 rows (vertical) and 10 columns (horizontal). Wait, the green is left 6 columns? Wait, no, let's count again. Wait, the grid: each row has 10 squares. Let's count green squares per row:

Row 1: 6 green
Row 2: 6 green
Row 3: 6 green
Row 4: 6 green
Row 5: 6 green
Row 6: 6 green
Row 7: 6 green
Row 8: 6 green
Row 9: 5 green? Wait, no, the 9th row (from top) has a white square? Wait, no, the image: the green is on the left, and in the 9th row (maybe 9th from top), the 6th column? Wait, maybe I miscounted. Wait, actually, the grid is \(10\times10 = 100\) squares. Let's count the green:

First 6 columns, rows 1 - 8: 6*8 = 48
Row 9: 5? No, wait, the 9th row (from top) has a white square? Wait, no, the 10th row (bottom row) has 6 green? Wait, no, let's look again. Wait, the correct count: Let's see, the green area: columns 1 - 6, rows 1 - 9: wait, no, the last row (10th) has 6 green? Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, actually, the grid is 10x10, so total 100. Let's count the white squares: right 4 columns (columns 7 - 10), 10 rows: 4*10 = 40. But wait, no, in row 9, column 6 is white? Wait, no, the image shows: in the 9th row (from top), the 6th column is white? Wait, no, maybe the green is 59? Wait, no, let's do it properly.

Wait, the grid: each row has 10 squares. Let's count green squares:

Rows 1 - 8: each has 6 green (columns 1 - 6) → 8*6 = 48
Row 9: 5 green (columns 1 - 5, column 6 is white) → 5
Row 10: 6 green (columns 1 - 6) → 6
Total green: 48 + 5 + 6 = 59? Wait, no, that can't be. Wait, maybe the 9th row is 6? Wait, maybe my initial row count is wrong. Wait, the grid is 10 rows (vertical), so rows 1 (top) to 10 (bottom). Let's count again:

Row 1: 6 green
Row 2: 6 green
Row 3: 6 green
Row 4: 6 green
Row 5: 6 green
Row 6: 6 green
Row 7: 6 green
Row 8: 6 green
Row 9: 5 green (column 6 is white)
Row 10: 6 green

Wait, that's 8*6 + 5 + 6 = 48 + 11 = 59? No, 8*6=48, 48+5=53, 53+6=59. But 100 - white squares: white squares are columns 7 - 10 (4 columns) in rows 1 - 8: 8*4=32; row 9: column 6 and 7 - 10: 1 + 4=5; row 10: columns 7 - 10: 4. So white squares: 32 + 5 + 4 = 41. So green squares: 100 - 41 = 59? Wait, no, that's not right. Wait, maybe the 9th row has 6 green. Let's check the image again. The user's image: the green is on the left, and in the 9th row (from top), the 6th square (column 6) is white? No, maybe I'm overcomplicating. Wait, actually, the correct count is: the grid is 10x10, so 100 squares. Let's count the green: first 6 columns, 9 rows (rows 1 - 9) have 6 each, but row 9 has 5? No, maybe the answer is 59? Wait, no, wait, let's see: the green area is 6 columns (width 6) and 9.833... rows? No, better: let's count the white squares. The white part is 4 columns (columns 7 - 10) and 10 rows, but in row 9, column 6 is white. Wait, no, maybe the white squares are 4*10 + 1 = 41, so green is 100 - 41 = 59. But wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, another way: the grid is 10x10, so 100 squares. Let's count the green:

Columns 1 - 6: 6 columns. Rows 1 - 8: 8 rows, 6*8=48.
Row 9: 5 green (column 6 is white)
Row 10: 6 green
Total: 48 + 5 + 6 = 59. So 59 out of 100, which is 59%.

Wait, but maybe I miscounted. Wait, let's check again. The 9th row (from top) has a white square in column 6? So row 9: columns 1 - 5 green, column 6 white, columns 7 - 10 white. So 5 green. Row 10: columns 1 - 6 green. So 6. Rows 1 - 8: 6 each. So 8*6=48, 48+5+6=59. So 59%.

Step2: Calculate percentage

Percentage \(= \frac{\text{Green squares}}{\text{Total squares}} \times 100 = \frac{59}{100} \times 100 = 59\%\).

Answer:

59%
