Given the figure that is not drawn to scale, find
- its perimeter.
- its area.
(a)
Perimeter of the figure
= (4 x 12) + (4 x 2) + (4 x 3)
= 48 + 8 + 12
= 68 cm
(b)
Length of AB
= 12 - 3 - 3
= 6 cm
Length of CD
= 12 - 2 - 2
= 8 cm
Area of the figure
= (12 x 12) - (2 x (6 x 2)) - (2 x (8 x 3))
= 144 - 24 - 48
= 72 cm
2 Answer(s): (a) 68 cm; (b) 72 cm
