Answer:
Area = 51
Perimeter = 38
Step-by-step explanation:
When looking at this shape I see 2 different rectangles that can be found separately and then added together at the end.
Area = length × width
Top (bigger) rectangle:
width = 5
length = 9
Area: 5 × 9 = 45
Bottom (smaller) rectangle:
width = 2
length = 3
Area: 2 × 3 = 6
Total Area (add the top and bottom rectangle areas): 45 + 6 = 51
Perimeter = add the side lengths
Top (bigger) rectangle:
width = 5 (2 sides have this)
length = 9 (2 sides have this)
Perimeter: 5 + 5 + 9 + 9 = 28
Bottom (smaller) rectangle:
width = 2 (2 sides have this)
length = 3 (2 sides have this)
Perimeter: 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 = 10
Total Perimeter (add the top and bottom rectangle perimeters): 28 + 10 = 38
