Answer:

Perimeter = 63.9 cm.

Area = 166.96 cm^2 to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

The perimeter = 16+20.9+27 = 63.9 cm.

To find the area you can use Heron's Formula.

Area = √ [ s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)] where s = the semi-perimeter and a, b and c are the lengths of the 3 sides.

s = 63.9 / 2 = 31.95.

Area of the triangle = √ (31.95(31.95-16)(31.95-20.9)(31.95-27)]

= 166.96 cm^2.
