Find the perimeter and area of the figure if each unit on the graph measures 1 centimeter. Round answers to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

The perimeter of the figure is : 22.4 cm

The area of the figure is : 30.2 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram, the figure is a rectangle.

Use the coordinate points to find the lengths of each side.

Side length AD = side length BC

Apply the Pythagoras relationship to find length BC as;

a² + b²= c²   where a=2 cm and b = 4 cm and c =BC

2² + 4² = c²

4+16 = c²

20 = c²

c= √20 = 4.4721

Length BC = Length AD = 4.5 cm

Side length AB = Side length DC

Apply the Pythagoras relationship to find length DC as;

a² + b²= c²   where a=6 cm and b = 3 cm and c =DC

6² + 3² =c²

36 + 9 = c²

45 = c²

√45 = c

c= 6.7082

c = DC = 6.7 cm

Now you have measurements of the rectangle as;

Length = 6.7 cm and width = 4.5 cm

The perimeter will be ;

P= 2{l +w} where l is length and w is width and P is perimeter of the rectangle

P=2{6.7 + 4.5}

P=2{11.2}

P= 22.4 cm

The area will be ;

A= l*w

A= 6.7 * 4.5 = 30.15 = 30.2 cm²

The perimeter of the figure is : 22.4 cm

The area of the figure is : 30.2 cm²
