I'm assuming you only need the first triangle. You didn't specify. If you need it after I answer the first one I'll be happy to help though.
To find the area of a triangle you go b(h)/2=a
6cm(3cm)/2
18/2
Area=9
To find the perimeter you add all of the sides together.
4+4+6=P
4+10=P
14= Perimeter
First, lets convert them into multipliers:
The multiplier for a:
25% increase = 1.25
40% decrease = 0.6
40% increase = 1.4
Now to work out the overall percentage change, we just times all of the multipliers together, and convert it back to a percentage:
1.25 x 0.6 x 1.4 = 1.05
So the overall multiplier is 1.05
And a multiplier of 1.05 = a <u>5% increase</u>.
That means that the percentage change is + 5%

Note: if you haven't been taught multipliers - then ask and I'll try my best to explain!
