Question

How would i get the area and perimeter of this?

Answer 1

Answer:

Perimeter would be: 10.1 m

Area would be: 3.08 m

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter, you just focus on the solid lines. Right now, that's 4.7, 2.2, and 3.2. You add all of those together and you have the perimeter.

To find the area, you have to do something a little different. Right now, you only focus on the base (2.2) and the dotted line (2.8). When you multiply those together, you get, 6.16. If we only did that though, we would be finding the area for a rectangle. For triangles, you always divide by two at the end, since 2 triangles make up a quadrilateral.

6.16/2=3.08

I hope this helped you. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

Perimeter: 10.1 m

Area: 6.16 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

For perimeter just add up all the sides except for 2.8 m since that is set aside for area.

For area multiply the length 2.2 by the height 2.8 m. The reason behind this is that using a slanted height makes know sense sine when you measure things they should be perfectly as possible vertical
