1. Find the Perimeter AND Area of the figure
below.
2 ft
5 ft
2 ft
5 ft

A = 16 ft^2

P = 20 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

P = perimeter

A = area

STEP 1: divide the shape into rectangles

Rectangle 1: 2ft*3ft

Rectangle 2: 2ft*5ft

STEP 2: Find the area of each rectangle

Equation for area of a rectangle = bh

Rectangle 1: b = 2, h = 3

Rectangle 2: b = 2, h = 5

(2 * 3) + (2 * 5)

6 + 10

16 ft^2

Now, we have to find the perimeter

STEP 1:  Find the unknown side lengths.

To find the lengths of the sides not labeled, you have to use the lengths of the sides we already know.

The length of one parallel side is 5, and the length of another parallel side is 2. The length of the unknown side starts at the same place as the top of the side length that is 5, and ends at the top of the side length that is 2. This means that we have to subtract 2 from 5 in order to find the unknown side length.

STEP 2: Add up all the side lengths

P = 2 + 5 + 5 + 2 + 3 + 3

P = 20 ft

Don't forget to label your answers!!

I hope this made sense, it's is a little hard to explain in simple terms without being able to draw, but I hope it helped.
