Solution

We want to find the area and perimeter of the shaded figure.

The shape below is a rectangle

Therefore, the area of a rectangle is


\begin{gathered} A=L* W \\ \text{ Where L is the length and W is the width} \end{gathered}

while the perimeter of a rectangle is given by


P=2(L+W)

Here, L = 2 unit and B = 3 units


A=2\text{ units}*3\text{ units}=6\text{ square units}
P=2(2+3)=2*5=10\text{ units}

Hence,

Area = 6 square units

Perimeter = 10 units
