Answer choices:
12
10.5
6.9
8.5
7.4
12.5

Answer 2

I'd count the squares.... to get an estimate

Answer 3

Well, so 2 are completely shaded, in total, would you say 6.9?

Answer 4

wow, I thought about 5 squares... but that's not a choice

Answer 5

Yea, thats why I was wanting a second opinion.

Answer 6

well they are rectangles not square... so do you know any other information..?

Answer 7

Wait, it says use trap. rule with n=4. Totally missed that.

Answer 8

so if the rectangles are 1 x 1.5, which would appear to be close, then the area of 1 is 1.5 sq units

so 5 x 1.5 = 7.5

so that gives you 2 to choose from...
