outline
The total number of squares, multiplied by the area of each square, gives the area inside the ______.
outline
The thicker lines on the ______ paper are 1 cm apart, while the thinner lines are 1 mm apart. Thus, the entire paper is divided into small squares of area 1 mm² each, and larger squares of area 1 cm² each.
graph
For the shape in Figure 1.1, the number of squares with half or more within the ______ = 7.
outline

Study Notes
Measuring Irregular Areas
- Area is the measure of the region inside a closed line.
- To find the area of an irregular shape, use a graph paper with parallel lines (thicker lines 1 cm apart, thinner lines 1 mm apart) to divide the paper into small squares (1 mm² each) and larger squares (1 cm² each).
- Count the number of squares inside the outline, counting only those with half or more of the square inside the outline.
- The total number of squares, multiplied by the area of each square, gives the area inside the outline.
Measuring Volume
- The unit of volume is given by the cube of the unit of length (e.g., meter³, cm³, etc.).
- The litre (L) and millilitre (mL) are units of volume used to measure the volume of liquids.
- 1 m³ = 1,000,000 cm³, 1 L = 1000 cm³, and 1 mL = 1 cm³.
- Gallon and ounce are units of volume used in the UK and US, but they measure different volumes in the two countries (e.g., 1 US gallon = 3.78 L, 1 UK gallon = 4.54 L, etc.).
- A hollow body or container has an outer volume and an inner volume (capacity), measured in terms of the liquid it can hold.
- Containers with fixed capacities, such as conical measuring cans and metal cups, are used to measure the volume of liquids.
