Given the figure that is not drawn to scale, find
- its perimeter.
- its area.
(a)
Perimeter of the figure
= (4 x 14) + (4 x 4) + (4 x 5)
= 56 + 16 + 20
= 92 cm
(b)
Length of AB
= 14 - 5 - 5
= 4 cm
Length of CD
= 14 - 4 - 4
= 6 cm
Area of the figure
= (14 x 14) - (2 x (4 x 4)) - (2 x (6 x 5))
= 196 - 32 - 60
= 104 cm
2 Answer(s): (a) 92 cm; (b) 104 cm
