⇒Perimeter is the summation of all the sides of a shape

⇒Note for some sides I will not be able to explain because I cannot draw to show you.

P=S+S+S+S+S+S

P=4+8+12+2+8+4

P=38

⇒For the Area Divide the shape into two shapes Note it will results into two rectangles with the 1st rectangle having measurements L=12 and W=2

and the 2nd rectangle having L=8 and W=4 After finding the areas of both these rectangles ADD the areas for they will give you the area of the whole shape


1^(st) _(rectangle area) =L*W\\1^(st) _(rectangle area)=12*2\\\\\\1^(st) _(rectangle area)=24


2^(nd) _(rectangle area)=L*B\\2^(nd) _(rectangle area)=8*4\\2^(nd) _(rectangle area)=32\\\\total_(shape \\area)=24+32\\

The Area of the shape is 56

note if you were to insert the unit of measurement you were going to put in the square measurement.

Please do not hesitate to ask failure to understand.
