Q

steps for grid thingy

A

grid is drawn over shape consisting of equal sized squares
area of one square is calculated
number of squares completely covered by grid are counted and noted
no. of squares that are not completely covered but have more than half of their area covered are counted
numbers obtained in steps 3 and 4 are added
total no. multiplied by area of one square

17
