Answer:

Perimeter: 22cm Area: 24cm^2

Explanation:

To find perimeter we add all the sides together. There are two missing sides in this picture.

The bottom one is found by adding the two top lines 4 + 2 = 6

The one on the right can be found by subtracting the left line and the given right line 5 - 2 = 3.

Now we have all the lines, add them together we get 22cm!

Now, there are two ways to find the area. Of course I’m going to show the one I prefer.

Imagine the chunk in the top right is not missing; what would the area of the rectangle be? 30cm^2

And now what’s the area of the missing chunk?

Our given line multiplied by the one we calculated for: 6cm^2

Now subtract the whole rectangle minus the piece we are missing 30 - 6 = 24cm^2
