Question

Find the area and perimeter of each polygon:
6
5
4
8
Area:
unit2
Perimeter:
unit2
OK

Answer 1

Part a

The area of the figure is equal to the area of two rectangles

Area of the top rectangle

A=(6)*(5)=30 unit2

Area of the bottom rectangle

A=(8)*(4)=32 unit2

therefore

The total area is

A=30+32

A=62 unit2

Part b

Find out the perimeter

To find out the perimeter adds all the length sides

so

P=8+4+(8-6)+5+6+5+4

P=34 units
