Answer:

A = 42 - 80 B = 40 - 112

Explanation:

I can answer Both A & B for you however C & D aren't very clear.

A:

Perimeter = 42cm

Area = 80cm Cubed

B:

Perimeter = 40cm

Area = 112cm Cubed

Calculations

In Question A, you are given all the measurements for the perimeter except, which is the line at the bottom. If we take what we already have been given.

10 + 8 + 4 + 4 + 3

We have 3 sides currently without a measurement, The Right side of the shape is 8, therefore the left must be the same, so that measurement is 8.

The small line creating the indent inside the shape must be 2, as we know the line at the top = 10cm. The line opposite it is must be 3 as the one opposite is 3cm.

Factoring those into our calculation:

10 + 8 + 8 + 4 + 4 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 42cm (Perimeter)

To find the Area you multiply the Height of the shape by the width.

Height = 8

Width = 10

8 x 10 =
80cm^(2) (Area)

In Question B, you are given all the measurements for the perimeter, so you would simply add them up again.

14 + 10 + 8 + 2 + 6 = 40cm (Perimeter)

To Calculate the Area as previously said you would multiply the width by height.

Height = 8cm

Width = 14

14 x 8 =
112cm^(2) (Area)

Hope this helps :)
