Understanding Area Calculation of a Quadrilateral

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the area of a quadrilateral on a grid where each square is 1 square cm. It begins by counting the full unit squares covered by the shape and then addresses the partial squares, which are triangular sections. By combining these partial squares into full unit squares, the total area of the quadrilateral is determined to be 12 square cm.

What is the area of each unit square in the grid?

• 1 square cm

• 2 square cm

• 4 square cm

• 3 square cm

What shape is the figure whose area we need to calculate?

• Circle

• Quadrilateral

• Triangle

• Pentagon

How many full unit squares does the quadrilateral initially cover?

• 8

• 9

• 7

• 10

How many full unit squares are initially counted before considering the triangles?

• 5

• 6

• 7

• 9
