Answer 1

A

Explanation:

You can check to see if it is A is you do A = Bh

The base in this question is 6 while the height is 2. To vcheck area you can multiply these to get 12 units squared. To check the perimeter, you can draw a picture. Label each side, you know that there are going to be two 2's and 2 6's so you can add those for the perimeter:

2 + 2 + 6 +6 = 16 units for the perimeter
