Question

2. A square is divided into smaller squares and
portions are shaded. What is the area of the
shaded portion?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.5 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the length is divided into 4 parts,

Length of a small square = 2/4

= 0.5 ft

Hence,

Area of 1 small square = (0.5)(0.5)

= 0.25 ft^2

Area of shaded portion = Area of 6 small squares

= 6(0.25)

= 1.5 ft^2

Answer 2

Since the length is divided into 4 parts it would equal 0.5ft
