Question

Find the Area and Perimeter of the shaded figure Area = x squre unitsPerimeter = x units

Answer 1

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
