Area of the word ME = 20 square units
Solution:
Picks' Theorem:
where <em>I </em>is the interior points and <em>B</em> is the points on the boundary.
Let us first find the area of the letter M:
Number of interior points in M = 0
Number of points in the boundary = 22
Using pick's theorem,
Area of M =
Area of M = 10 square units
Now, find the area of the letter E:
Number of interior points in E = 0
Number of points in the boundary = 22
Using pick's theorem,
Area of E =
Area of E = 10 square units
Area of the word ME = Area of M + Area of E
= 10 square units + 10 square units
Area of the word ME = 20 square units
