Question

Find the perimeter and area of the polygon with the given vertices E(6,-2), F(6,5), G(-1,5)

Answer 1

Answer:  Perimeter ≈ 23.9       Area = 24.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is the sum of the sides.

EF = 7

FG = 7

EG = 7√2

Perimeter = EF + FG + EG

                 = 7  +  7  + 7√2

                 =      14    + 7√2

                 ≈          23.9

Area = $\dfrac{1}{2}$(base x height)

        =$\dfrac{1}{2}$(7 x 7)

        = $\dfrac{49}{2}$

        = 24.5
