Answer:
see explanation
Explanation:
The area (A) of a rectangle is calculated as
A = length × breadth
= (2 +
)(4-2
) ← expand using FOIL
= 8 - 4
+ 4
- 4 ← collect like terms
= 4 units²
--------------------------------------------------------
The opposite sides of a rectangle are congruent , so
perimeter = 2(4 - 2
) + 2(2 +
) ← distribute parenthesis
= 8 - 4
+ 4 + 2
← collect like terms
= 12 - 2
