Answer:
The perimeter of the figure is : 22.4 cm
The area of the figure is : 30.2 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
From the diagram, the figure is a rectangle.
Use the coordinate points to find the lengths of each side.
Side length AD = side length BC
Apply the Pythagoras relationship to find length BC as;
a² + b²= c² where a=2 cm and b = 4 cm and c =BC
2² + 4² = c²
4+16 = c²
20 = c²
c= √20 = 4.4721
Length BC = Length AD = 4.5 cm
Side length AB = Side length DC
Apply the Pythagoras relationship to find length DC as;
a² + b²= c² where a=6 cm and b = 3 cm and c =DC
6² + 3² =c²
36 + 9 = c²
45 = c²
√45 = c
c= 6.7082
c = DC = 6.7 cm
Now you have measurements of the rectangle as;
Length = 6.7 cm and width = 4.5 cm
The perimeter will be ;
P= 2{l +w} --------- where l is length and w is width and P is perimeter of the rectangle
P=2{6.7 + 4.5}
P=2{11.2}
P= 22.4 cm
The area will be ;
A= l*w
A= 6.7 * 4.5 = 30.15 = 30.2 cm²
The perimeter of the figure is : 22.4 cm
The area of the figure is : 30.2 cm²
