Area means everything inside. So you would first find the area of the shape like if it was a rectangle. So do 8 times 11. Then solve for X. X=4 because 11-7=4. Then do 5x4=20. 20 is the amount of space you take off from 8x11=88 cause 88 is the area of a rectangle. This shape is not a rectangle. Your answer for area would be 68.
Perimeter means around the shape so add all the sides up. You already have all the lengths except for y. To solve for y, subtract 5 from 8 which equals 3. So Y=3. Next add up all the sides. So it''ll be 7+8+11+3+5+4=38. Your answer for perimeter is 38.
