Chapter 8.3, Problem 49E

To determine

The perimeter and area of the given figure.

Answer to Problem 49E

  $\begin{array}{l}P=36\text{yd}\\ A=60{\text{yd}}^{\text{2}}\end{array}$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given figure is:

  

Calculation:

The perimeter of the figure will be:

  $\begin{array}{l}P=13+13+5+5\\ P=36\text{yd}\end{array}$

The area of the figure will be:

  $\begin{array}{l}A=\frac{1}{2}\left(b\right)\left(h\right)\\ A=\frac{1}{2}\left(10\right)\left(12\right)\\ A=60{\text{yd}}^{\text{2}}\end{array}$
