Question

Problem solving with area.
Find perimeter and area

Answer 1

Answer:

44 is the perimeter of this figure.

Answer 2

First thing to notice that, in this figure there are 4 triangles (each of same dimensions) which makes up a quadrilateral (parallelogram).

For area -

Calculate area of single triangle and multiply it by 4.

        Area of right angled triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ × Base × Height

       = $\frac{1}{2}$×6×8

       =24 $cm^{2}$

       Total area = 24×4

                         = 96 $cm^{2}$

For perimeter -

Simply just add all the outer dimensions.

Perimeter = 10+6+6+10+6+6

                = 44 cm
