Answer:

Area = 20yd

Perimeter = 23 yd

Explanation:

Area = 1/2 ×bh

b, which I the base = 10yd

h, which is the height = 4yd

Note: 5yd is the base because when you turn the triangle you will see that 10yd is the base and 5yd is the height not 8yd because 8 yd is not a straight line at a right angle

Therefore;

Area = 1/2× 10 × 4

= 1× 5 × 4

= 20yd

Perimeter = 8yd +5yd +10yd

= 13yd + 10yd

= 23yd
