Solution
From the given figure, we observe
| Covered Area | Number | Area estimate (square units) |
| Fully filled squares | 8 | 8 |
| Half filled squares | – | – |
| More than half-filled squares | 10 | 10 |
| Less than half-filled squares | 9 | 0 |
Therefore total area = 8 + 10 = 18 square units.
