Answer is

a). Perimeter = 42 m

b). Area = 90 m^2

Step by step

a) Perimeter equals the sum of all sides.
See attachment, I filled in the missing side lengths.
From the bottom moving clockwise the lengths are:

11 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 6 + 10 = 42 m

b) Area = L x W

I bisected the figure into two shapes

Top figure is 6 x 4 = 24 m^2
Bottom figure is 6 x 11 = 66 m^2

Add them together, 24 + 66 = 90 m^2
