Answer 1

Hello :D

If you are trying to work out area you have to do:

8cm x 4cm = 24cm

If you are trying to work out the perimeter then you have to work out the distance around the shape

Answer 2

≈ 8.9

Explanation:

Assuming you are requiring the length of the unknown side

let the side ( hypotenuse ) be x

Using Pythagoras' identity

The square on the hypotenuse ie equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

x² = 4² + 8² = 16 + 64 = 80 ( take square root of both sides )

x =
`√(80)` ≈ 8.9 ( to 1 dec. place )
