Answer:

perimeter = 46

Area = 96 units^2

Explanation:

The given is a right triangle and in right triangle the square length of hypotenuse is equal to sum of other two sides's square length

12^2 + 16^2 = hypotenuse^2

144 + 256 = hypotenuse^2

400 = hypotenuse^2

20 = hypotenuse

The perimeter is equal to the sum of all side lengths

12 + 16 + 18 = 46

The area of a triangle is calculated by multiplying height to the base and that divided by two

16 × 12 ÷ 2 = 96 units^2
