Answer:
A = 48 cm^2
P = 38
Explanation:
Area:
We can calculate the area of the more left shape first. We know that one side is 9 cm, but the second side is trickier. For the second side, we need to take the total measurement of the bottom area and subtract it from 6, because that is the part of the 10 cm we don't need. This gives us the first box is 9 cm x 4 cm = 36 cm^2. Then for the second box, we take the 6 cm and 2 cm giving us 6 cm x 2 cm = 12 cm^2. 36 cm^2 + 12 cm^2 = 48 cm^2.
Perimeter:
We will take all of the easy measurements first. We take 9 + 10 + 2 + 6 = 27 cm. Then we need to take 6 away form 10 again giving us 4, and 2 away from 9, giving us 7. 27 + 4 cm + 7 cm = 38 cm.
