Help! brainliest stars and hearts if correct! Please Area and perimeter! Please explain!

Answer 1

Answer:

The area is 8 square inches and the perimeter is 16 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the area.

We can find the area of the rectangle at the bottom pretty easily. Since half of the length of the bottom rectangle measures 2 inches, the full length would be 4 inches.

4 ⨯ 1 = 4

So, the area of the bottom rectangle is 4 square inches.

For the square on top, all you have to do is multiply 2 ⨯ 2, because there is no missing length we need to find out.

2 ⨯ 2 = 4

Now, we have to add 4 + 4, because the two quadrilaterals are joined together.

4 + 4 = 8

So, the area of the shape is 8 square inches.

Now, let's find the perimeter. We already know that the bottom rectangle's length is 4 inches, and that the sides are 1 inch tall. The square is 2 inches all around, so, no problems there.

Add the side measurements, not including the 2 inches at the bottom of the square because that side is inside the big shape.

2 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 1 + 4 + 1 = 16

So, the perimeter of the shape is 16 inches.

Answer 2

Answer:

Perimeter = 14 in

Area = 8 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = 2x2 + 4x1 = 8 in^2

Perimeter = 2+2+2+2+1+4+1 = 14 in
