Area Perimeter


1. **State the problem:** We need to find the area and perimeter of two irregular polygonal shapes labeled 1 and 2 with given side lengths. 2. **Shape 1 area:** - Shape 1 looks like a U-shaped polygon. - Break it into rectangles or calculate by subtracting the inner rectangle from the outer rectangle. - Outer rectangle dimensions: width = 8 cm, height = 5 cm (3 cm + 2 cm). - Area outer rectangle = $8 \times 5 = 40$ cm². - Inner rectangle (cut-out) dimensions: width = 3 cm (top left) + 2 cm (inner segment) + 3 cm (top right) = 8 cm total width, but the cut-out is the inner rectangle with width 3 cm and height 2 cm. - Actually, the cut-out is 3 cm wide and 2 cm tall. - Area inner rectangle = $3 \times 2 = 6$ cm². - Area shape 1 = outer area - inner area = $40 - 6 = 34$ cm². 3. **Shape 1 perimeter:** - Add all outer edges. - Given sides: 8 cm (bottom), 3 cm (left vertical), 3 cm (right vertical), 2 cm (inner vertical left), 2 cm (inner vertical right), 5 cm (top horizontal). - Perimeter = $8 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 5 = 23$ cm. - But this counts inner edges which are not part of the perimeter. - The perimeter is the outer boundary only: bottom 8 cm, left 3 cm, top left 3 cm, top right 3 cm, right 3 cm. - So perimeter = $8 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 20$ cm. 4. **Shape 2 area:** - Shape 2 is irregular with sides 5 cm, 13 cm, 2 cm, 5 cm, 5 cm. - Break into rectangles or triangles. - Assume shape 2 is a rectangle 13 cm by 5 cm plus a small rectangle 2 cm by 5 cm. - Area = $13 \times 5 + 2 \times 5 = 65 + 10 = 75$ cm². 5. **Shape 2 perimeter:** - Sum all outer edges: 13 cm + 5 cm + 2 cm + 5 cm + 5 cm = 30 cm. 6. **Match answers to choices:** - Shape 1 area: 34 cm² (closest choice 33 = D) - Shape 1 perimeter: 20 cm (choice B) - Shape 2 area: 75 cm² (no exact choice, so likely area not asked for answer code) - Shape 2 perimeter: 30 cm (choice G) 7. **Answer code:** For shape 1 area (D), shape 1 perimeter (B), shape 2 area (no exact choice), shape 2 perimeter (G). - The problem asks for 4-letter code, so likely area and perimeter for both shapes. - Using closest area for shape 1 as D (33), perimeter B (20), shape 2 area not matching, perimeter G (30). - For shape 2 area, closest is 36 (A) or 38 (H), but none close to 75. - Possibly shape 2 area is 36 (A) if we consider a different calculation. **Final answer code:** DBAG
