Answer 1

Answer:

Perimeter of rectangle before folded = 56 in

Total area after folding = 156 sq in

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangle before folded:  l = 16 and w = 12

                                           P = 2(16) + 2(12) = 32 + 24 = 56 in.

Figure after folding:   Area of trapezoid + area of rectangle

Area of trapezoid = h($b_{1} + b_{2}$)/2 = 6(4 + 16)/2 = 60

Area of rectangle = lw = 16(6) = 96

Total area after folding = 60 + 96 = 156 sq in.

Note:  You could also find the area after folding by substracting the areas of the two triangles in the corners from the area of the original rectangle.  Your choice.  OK?
