Solution

Area of green portion = Number of complete squares + Number of half filled squares

= `2 + 1/2 xx 4`

= 2 + 2

= 4 square cm

Area of yellow portion = Number of complete squares + Number of half filled squares + Number of more than half filled squares

= `3 + 1/2 xx 2 + 2`

= 3 + 1 + 2

= 6 square cm
