Angela has a rectangular piece of paper and cuts a rectangle out of a corner what are the area and perimeter of the resulting shape help me find the perimeter only

Respuesta :

The perimeter of a shape is the summation of the visible lengths of the shape. The area; however, is the product of the length and the width of the shape

The perimeter of the figure is 74cm and the area of the figure is 231 square cm

I've added shape as an attachment.

The perimeter is the sum of all side lengths. So, we have:

[tex]Perimeter = 6cm + 7cm + 15cm + 9cm + 21cm + 16cm[/tex]

[tex]Perimeter = 74cm[/tex]

To calculate the area, we split the shape into 2.

The first has the following dimension:

[tex]Length = 6cm[/tex]

[tex]Width = 7cm[/tex]

While the second has the following dimension

[tex]Length = 21cm[/tex]

[tex]Width = 9cm[/tex]

The area of the shape is:

[tex]Area = 6cm \times 7cm + 21cm\times 9cm[/tex]

[tex]Area = 231cm^2[/tex]

Hence, the shape has a perimeter of 74cm and an area of 231 square cm
