Area can be defined as the number of square units it takes to cover the inside of a figure. A. True B. False

Absolutely true! Area measures the surface that a shape occupies, and it is expressed in square units, like square meters or square feet. Imagine covering a pizza with pepperoni: each slice represents a "square unit" of area that makes up the whole pizza! Now, if you’re calculating the area of irregular shapes, it can get a bit tricky! A common mistake is to merely count the squares in a grid without factoring in partial squares. To solve such problems accurately, break the shape into smaller, easier sections, calculate the area for each section, and then sum them up for the total area. Voilà!
