Given the figure that is not drawn to scale, find
- its perimeter.
- its area.
(a)
Perimeter of the figure
= (4 x 20) + (4 x 4) + (4 x 6)
= 80 + 16 + 24
= 120 cm
(b)
Length of AB
= 20 - 6 - 6
= 8 cm
Length of CD
= 20 - 4 - 4
= 12 cm
Area of the figure
= (20 x 20) - (2 x (8 x 4)) - (2 x (12 x 6))
= 400 - 64 - 144
= 192 cm
2 Answer(s): (a) 120 cm; (b) 192 cm
