Given the figure that is not drawn to scale, find
- its perimeter.
- its area.
(a)
Perimeter of the figure
= (4 x 20) + (4 x 3) + (4 x 5)
= 80 + 12 + 20
= 112 cm
(b)
Length of AB
= 20 - 5 - 5
= 10 cm
Length of CD
= 20 - 3 - 3
= 14 cm
Area of the figure
= (20 x 20) - (2 x (10 x 3)) - (2 x (14 x 5))
= 400 - 60 - 140
= 200 cm
2 Answer(s): (a) 112 cm; (b) 200 cm
