i need help on finding the area and perimeter
The way you would find the area ~ side*side = side^2 believe - If I can remember math right. Perimeter ~ Adding the sides together -
Well, if you divide the main shape into 2 smaller rectangles, you can complete the following steps: 1. Divide the larger shape into two smaller shapes. The dimensions of the two new rectangles are 11 in x 13 in (designated as Rect 1 in this example) and 26 in x 10 in (Rect 2). 2. Multiply to find the area by using the equation \[l \times w = A\] So for this example, (Rect 1) = 11 x 13 = 143 in while (Rect 2) = 26 x 10 = 260 in 3. Add the two sums together, to get a total of 403 in (this is your area). 4. To find the perimeter, use the equation \[P = 2(l+w)\] in which case you multiply the length and width 2 times. In this example, you would be using the length and width of both of the Rects (1 & 2): (Rect 1) = 2(11 + 13) = 35 in² (Rect 2) = 2(26 + 10) = 62 in² 5. Add the perimeter of both Rect 1 and 2 together, giving you 35 + 62 = 97 in². Hope this helps! Contact me via DMs for more help :)
Or there is that.. and that is a lot smarter of an explanation so USE THAT :D
