Question

Find the perimeter and area of the figure (which is not necessarily drawn to scale):

Answer 1

p=8.5 cm

a=3.75 cm^2

Explanation:

p=2w+2l

p=2(1.25)+1(3)

p=2.5+3

p=8.5

---------------------------------------------

a=(l)(w)

a=(1.25)(3)

a=3.75

Answer 2

The answer to your question is Perimeter = 8.5 cm; Area = 3.75 cm²

Explanation:

Data

base = 3 cm

height = 1.25 cm

Formula

Perimeter = 2(base) + 2 (height)

Area = base x height

Process

1.- Calculate the perimeter

Perimeter = 2(3) + 2(1.25)

Perimeter = 6 + 2.5

Perimeter = 8.5 cm

2.- Calculate the area

Area = 3 x 1.25

Area = 3.75 cm²
