Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Count full - squares

Count the number of full - squares inside the figure. There are 15 full - squares.

Step2: Estimate partial - squares

For the partial - squares, use the rule that two half - squares make a whole square. But in this case, when we consider the overall shape, the number of partial - squares does not add enough to make the total close to 20 or 35. And 10 is too low as we already have 15 full - squares.

Answer:

(15\ in^{2})
