Kavya traces a mango leaf on squared paper where every small square stands for 1 cm². She finds 6 squares less than half covered, 9 squares more than half covered and 14 squares completely covered. What area should she record for the leaf?

Question

Accepted Answer

23 cm². The counting rule is: a full square counts as 1, a more-than-half square counts as 1, and a less-than-half square is ignored. Area = 14 + 9 = 23 cm². 29 cm² counts every partly covered square, including ones barely touched. 20 cm² mixes up the two partial groups, and 14 cm² throws away all the partial squares.

Kavya traces a mango leaf on squared paper where every small square stands for $1 cm^{2}$ . She finds 6 squares less than half covered, 9 squares more than half covered and 14 squares completely covered. What area should she record for the leaf?
