Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is:

Comparing the value:

Are formula:

Replacing values:

60cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find :-

We know that Perimeter is the sum of sides of a triangle. Here the perimeter is 40cm .

→ 2x - 4 +5x - 13 + x + 9 = 40cm .

→ 8x - 8 = 40cm

→ 8x = 40+8 cm

→ 8x = 48 cm

→ x = 6cm .

We know that the area of the triangle is half the product of base and height .

→ A = 1/2 × b × h

→ A = 1/2 × 8cm × 15cm

→ A = 60cm²
