Pls help me solve please show how you got the answer pls help

3/2 cm^2 or 1.5 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

This is another one of those very poorly design questions where a lot is taken for granted. There is nothing to show the the black square has an area of 1/4 square cm. or the white square is 1/2 cm^2. You are left to speculate, and you should never have to guess a dimension from a diagram.

That said here are the assumptions

White square area = L * W

L = 1 (which comes from 1/2 of 2)

W = 1/2

Area = 1 * 1/2 = 1/2

There are two them them so their area = 1

The black squares are 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 square cm. There are two of them so their total area = 1/2 square cm.

Total of the white and black squares = 1 + 1/2 = 1 1/2 or 3/2 square cm.

i'm a sophomore in connections, i'd recommend checking on jishka.com they have a large range of questions and answers from our school.
