Arrange the following steps in a sequence to find the area of a leaf.
(a) Find the number of complete boxes and half boxes inside the boundary.
(b) As the area of one box is 1 m^2, the total area is equal to the sum of full boxes and half boxes areas.
(c) Place it on a graph paper.
(d) Take an irregular shaped leaf.
(e) Draw the outline and remove it from the graph paper.

Answer

To find the area of a leaf using graph paper, we can follow these steps in the correct sequence:

1. **Take an irregular shaped leaf (Step D)**: Begin by selecting a leaf that has an irregular shape. This is the first step as it sets the foundation for the measurement process.

2. **Place it on a graph paper (Step C)**: After selecting the leaf, place it on a piece of graph paper. This will allow you to trace its outline accurately.

3. **Draw the outline and remove it from the graph paper (Step E)**: Next, carefully draw the outline of the leaf on the graph paper. Once you have traced the outline, you can remove the leaf from the paper.

4. **Find the number of complete boxes and half boxes inside the boundary (Step A)**: Now, count the number of complete boxes (full squares) and half boxes (half squares) that are contained within the outline of the leaf.

5. **As the area of one box is 1 m², the total area is equal to the sum of full boxes and half boxes areas (Step B)**: Finally, calculate the total area by adding the area of the complete boxes and half boxes. Since each box represents an area of 1 m², the total area can be determined from this sum.

### Final Sequence:
- D: Take an irregular shaped leaf.
- C: Place it on a graph paper.
- E: Draw the outline and remove it from the graph paper.
- A: Find the number of complete boxes and half boxes inside the boundary.
- B: As the area of one box is 1 m², the total area is equal to the sum of full boxes and half boxes areas.
