Question

Find the perimeter and area of the polygon with the given vertices E(6,-2), F(6,5), G(-1,5)

Answer 1

Answer: Perimeter ≈ 23.9 Area = 24.5

Explanation:

Perimeter is the sum of the sides.

EF = 7

FG = 7

EG = 7√2

Perimeter = EF + FG + EG

= 7 + 7 + 7√2

= 14 + 7√2

≈ 23.9

Area =
`(1)/(2)`(base x height)

=
`(1)/(2)`(7 x 7)

=
`(49)/(2)`

= 24.5
