Given the figure that is not drawn to scale, find
- its perimeter.
- its area.
(a)
Perimeter of the figure
= (4 x 14) + (4 x 3) + (4 x 5)
= 56 + 12 + 20
= 88 cm
(b)
Length of AB
= 14 - 5 - 5
= 4 cm
Length of CD
= 14 - 3 - 3
= 8 cm
Area of the figure
= (14 x 14) - (2 x (4 x 3)) - (2 x (8 x 5))
= 196 - 24 - 80
= 92 cm
2 Answer(s): (a) 88 cm; (b) 92 cm
