Question 4 Which shape has more area: Shape F or G? Give reasons for your answer.To find which shape has more area, we overlap both shapes by aligning one side Here, the extra portion of F coming out is almost equal to extra portion of G coming out But, we know that Area of F = 2 × Area of C Thus, let’s try to overlap Shape G with Shapes C and E Joining C & E to form a parallelogram Thus, Area of Shape G is equal to Area of Shape C + Area of Shape E Which is also Area of Shape F And, we can write Area of Shape G = Area of Shape F = 2 × Area of Shape C Therefore, Area of Shape G = Area of Shape F
