We can use  somethng called "Pick's Theorem"

 

Lattice point =  a point defined by the intersection of  grid  lines

 

Interior  lattice points   =  17

 

Boundary lattice points =   8

 

Area =  interior lattice points  + boundary lattice points / 2     - 1   =

 

17 + 8/2  -  1    =

 

14 + 4   - 1     =
