Question

find the perimeter and area of the figure if h=2.75 inches and w=1.5 inches

Answer 1

2.75 x 1.5 = 4.125 which is the area, and the perimeter is 8.5

Answer 2

perimiter=height+height+width+width or p=2h+2w or p=2(h+w)

area=height times width or a=hw

p=2(h+w)
subsitute
p=2(2.75+1.5)
p=2(4.25)
p=8.5 inches


a=hw
a=(2.75)(1.5)
a=4.125 square inches or
a=4.125 in^2
