Question

Find the perimeter and area of the shaded region.

Answer 1

1. 144 m; 2. 720m²;

Explanation:

1.

First we need to know how much edges are of the figure. Since there is 12, we need to multiple the length of an edge to how many of them are:

12 • 12 = 144 m

2.

Since one edge is 12 m, first calculate the plot of a little square (as there are 5 in the pic):

12 • 12 = 144 m² (one square)

Now we know that one square's plot is 144 m².

Since there is 5 of them, we need to multiply the plot 5 times, since there are five mini squares:

144 • 5 = 720 m²

Now we know the plot of the full figure.
