Given the following question:

Formula for area:


\begin{gathered} A=(1)/(2)h(b1+b2) \\ h=24 \\ b1=12 \\ b2=30 \\ A=(1)/(2)24(12+30) \\ 12+30=42 \\ (1)/(2)24(42) \\ 24*42=1008 \\ (1)/(2)*1008=504 \\ A=504 \end{gathered}

Now for the perimeter:

Perimeter is the sum of all sides


\begin{gathered} 12+26.8+30+24.7=93.5 \\ P=93.5 \end{gathered}
