Answer 6

Welcome to QC BTW ^_^

Answer 7

thanks

Answer 8

first let's figure out what the bottom side is equal to

Answer 9

if bottom side + 4 = 17

then bottom side = ?

Answer 10

13

Answer 11

good, let's mark that down

Answer 12

now let's look at the right side

Answer 13

if right side + 4 = 9
what is the right side?

Answer 14

5?

Answer 15

good

so for perimeter let's add everything up

Answer 16

17 + 5 + 4 + 4 + 13 + 9 = ?

Answer 17

I thought the perimeter of a recangle is length X width

Answer 18

that's area

Answer 19

area = l*width
perimeter = sum of sides

Answer 20

Ohh okay ! then 52

Answer 21

awesome

for the area we need to break the shape into rectangles

Answer 22

Then is that the 2(l+w)

Answer 23

perimeter = 2(l+w)
area = l*w

Answer 24

Okay

Answer 25

for area we will calculate the sum of the areas of both rectangles

rectangle 1: 13*9
rectangle 2: 5*4

Answer 26

so the total area: 13*9 + 4*5 = ?

Answer 27

137

Answer 28

good

so our answer, including units:

perimeter = 52 yd
area = 137 y^2

Answer 29

oh my gosh thanks so much!! this really helped
