It can be seen from the diagram that the side length of each small square is 1 unit.
Hence, the length and width of the shaded rectangle, respectively are l=3 and w=2.
Recall the formula for the area of a rectangle with length, l and width, w:
[tex]A=l\times w[/tex]
Substitute l=3 and w=2 into the area formula:
[tex]A=3\times2=6\text{ square units.}[/tex]
Hence, the area of the shaded rectangle is 6 square units.
The Perimeter of a rectangle is:
[tex]P=2(l+w)[/tex]
Substitute l=3 and w=2 into the formula:
[tex]P=2(3+2)=2(5)=10\text{ units}[/tex]
Answer:
The area is 6 square units.
The perimeter is 10 units.
