Estimate the area of a shape based on rectangles on a grid. Next, place rows and columns of squares inside two rectangles to work out the correct formula for finding area.

Without this protein the curved shape is lost. Perturbation of this specialised shaping reduces the speed of prey invasion and changes how the Bdellovibrio fits inside the prey cells as they grow.
