In Lesson 9-3, you estimated the area ofirregular shapes by drawing composite figures that approximated the irregularshapes and by using area formulas.

Another method of estimating area is to use a grid and count the squares on the grid.

Example 1A Continued

Method 1: Draw a composite figure that approximates the irregular shape and find the area of the composite figure.

The area is approximately 4 + 5.5 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 1.5 + 1 + 6 = 30 units2.

Method 2: Count the number of squares inside the figure, estimating half squares. Use a for a whole square and a for a half square.

There are approximately 24 whole squares and 14 half squares, so the area is about

The parts of the puzzle appear to form two trapezoids with the same bases and height that contain the same shapes, but one appears to have an area that is larger by one square unit.

22 Make a Plan

Example 4 Continued

Find the areas of the shapes that make up each figure. If the corresponding areas are the same, then both figures have the same area by the Area Addition Postulate. To explain why the area appears to increase, consider the assumptions being made about the figure. Each figure is assumed to be a trapezoid with bases of 2 and 4 units and a height of 9 units. Both figures are divided into several smaller shapes.

The areas are the same. Both figures have an area of

If the figures were trapezoids, their areas would be

Example 4 Continued

Solve33

A = (2 + 4)(9) = 27 units2. By the Area Addition

Postulate, the area is only 26.5 units2, so the figures must not be trapezoids. Each figure is a pentagon whose shape is very close to a trapezoid.

Look Back44

Example 4 Continued

The slope of the hypotenuse of the smaller triangle is 4. The slope of the hypotenuse of the larger triangle is 5. Since the slopes are unequal, the hypotenuses do not form a straight line. This means the overall shapes are not trapezoids.
