For this case we have that the perimeter of the figure is given by the sum of the lengths of the sides, that is:
Thus, the perimeter of the figure is 64 centimeters.
Now, we find the area of the figure:
We have that by definition, the area of a rectangle is given by:
Where:
a and b are the sides of the rectangle
We have 4 vertical rectangles from left to right:
Thus, the total area is
Answer:
