Question

Find the perimeter and area of the polygon shown below.

P = 80 feet, A = 360 square feet
P = 60 feet, A = 368 square feet
P = 95 feet, A = 420 square feet
P = 80 feet, A = 368 square feet

Answer 1

To find the perimeter and area of a polygon, we need the measurements of its sides. More information is needed to determine the specific polygon in this case.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter and area of a polygon, we need to know the measurements of its sides.

For the given values of P and A, we can't determine the specific polygon without more information.

However, we can use the formulas to find the perimeter and area of any polygon, given the measurements of its sides. The perimeter is the sum of all the side lengths, and the area can be calculated using various formulas depending on the polygon.

Answer 2

P = 80, A = 368 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Area:

You can split the shape into a rectangle and a triangle, and find those first then add them together.

Because you know the area of a rectangle is a = lw, you can plug 15 and 20 for l and w, getting a = 15(20), and a = 300

Then, you know the area of a triangle is a = 1/2bh, so you can plug in 8 and 17 for b and h, getting a = 1/2(8·17), and a = 68

Adding these together gets you a = 368 square feet.

Perimeter:

Because a rectangle has congruent opposite sides, you know that the three open sides of the rectangle are 15, 20, and 20, and that the triangle has two open sides of 8 and 17.

Adding all of these together gets you P = 80ft
