Answer:

Area = 7 square units

Perimeter = 14 units

Explanation:

The figure shown above consists of 7 squares, each having a side length of 1 unit.

==>Area of shape = area of 1 square × 7

Area of shape = s² × 7.

Where, s = side length = 1 unit

Area of shape = 1² × 7

= 1 × 7

Area = 7 square units

==>Perimeter of shape:

The perimeter of the shape is the sum of all the external sides of the 7 squares that form along the boundary of the shape. Check the attachment to see each side length that makes up the length of the entire boundary.

Perimeter of shape = 1 + 1 + 1 + ½ + ½ + 1 + 1 + ½ + 1½ + 1 + 4 + 1 = 14 units.
