Question

Find the perimeter and area of each figure.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

$\begin{array}{l}\text{Perimeter }P=23\text{ m}\\ \text{Area }A=30{\text{ m}}^2\end{array}$

Step 1. Given sides of rectangle.

$\begin{array}{l}\text{Length }L=7.5\text{ m}\\ \text{Width }W=4\text{ m}\end{array}$

Step 2. Formula used.

$\begin{array}{l}\text{Parimeter of rectangle }P=2\left(L+W\right)\\ \text{Area of rectangle }A=LW\end{array}$

Step 3. Calculate the perimeter of a rectangle.

$\begin{array}{l}P=2\left(7.5+4\right)\\ P=23\text{ m}\end{array}$

Step 4. Calculate the area of the rectangle.

$\begin{array}{l}A=\left(7.5\right)\left(4\right)\\ A=30{\text{ m}}^2\end{array}$

Therefore,

$\begin{array}{l}\text{Perimeter }P=23\text{ m}\\ \text{Area }A=30{\text{ m}}^2\end{array}$
