Find the Area and Perimeter of both figures!
1)
2 cm
A=
5 cm
6 cm
3 cm
2)

Answer 1

`Area = 27cm^2`

`P=23cm`

Explanation:

Required

The area and the perimeter

Solving (a): The area

The shape is a composite figure withe following characteristics:

Rectangle 1: 3cm by 5cm

Rectangle 2: 2cm by 6cm

So, the area is the sum of the areas of both rectangles

`Area = 3cm * 5cm + 2cm*6cm`

`Area = 15cm^2 + 12cm^2`

`Area = 27cm^2`

Solving (b): The perimeter

This is calculated as:

`P=3cm + 5cm + 2cm+6cm + 2cm + 5cm` --- sum of all lengths

`P=23cm`
