Find the perimeter and area of the figure. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary. 33.7 mm; 108 mm2 33.7 mm; 54 mm2 30.7 mm; 50
Deffense [45]

Answer:

Perimeter: 33.7 mm

Area: 54 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

If you do 12 + 9.7 + 12 you will get the perimeter, and to get the area you would use the formula A = \frac{1}{2} x base x height. Since the base is 12 and the height is 9, you would do 12 x 9 x 0.5 to get 54 mm for the area of the triangle.

No because at least one segment length is not preserved.
rigid means everything stays the same, but orientation sometimes changes.
