Answer:
[tex]p=18\:\mathrm{in},\\A=25\:\mathrm{in^2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a triangle is given by [tex]A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot b\cdot h[/tex]. By definition, the base and height must intersect at a [tex]90^{\circ}[/tex] angle.
In this diagram, we notice that the lengths [tex]8\frac{1}{3}[/tex] and [tex]6[/tex] intersect at a [tex]90^{\circ}[/tex], so we can use them as the base and height of the triangle, respectively.
Therefore, the area of the triangle is equal to:
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 6\cdot 8\frac{1}{3}=3\cdot \frac{25}{3}=\boxed{25\:\mathrm{in^2}}[/tex].
The perimeter is simply the sum of all sides of the triangle. Thus, we have:
[tex]p=4\frac{1}{3}+8\frac{1}{3}+5\frac{1}{3}=4+8+5+1=\boxed{18\:\mathrm{in}}[/tex]
