Question

Use the rectangle at the right to answer the following questions. a. Find the area of the entire rectangle. Show your work. b. Calculate the perimeter of the figure. Show your work.

Answer 1

Length of the entire rectangle = 12 + 5 = 17

Width of the entire rectangle = 6+4 = 10

Part a

Area of rectangle = Length x width

Area of the entire rectangle = 17 x 10 = 170 square units

Part b

Perimeter of rectangle = 2( length + width )

Perimeter of the entire rectangle = 2(17 + 10 )

=2 (27) = 54

Perimeter of the entire rectangle = 54 units
