To find the perimeter and area of the given diagram, we need to identify all the dimensions shown in the image and use those to perform calculations. Here's how we can solve for both the perimeter and the area of the shape.

Shape Analysis

The diagram appears to be a combination of rectangles. Let's identify the dimensions from the image:

• Horizontal Dimensions:

  • Total width: $10.79 \, \text{m}$
  • Lower horizontal sections: $3.72 \, \text{m}, 2.88 \, \text{m}, 4.19 \, \text{m}$

• Vertical Dimensions:

  • Total height: $5.39 \, \text{m}$
  • Upper section height: $3.11 \, \text{m}$
  • Lower vertical sections: $1.32 \, \text{m}, 0.96 \, \text{m}$

From these measurements, we can derive the length of the remaining sections:

• The missing horizontal segment at the top (middle section): $10.79 \, \text{m} - (3.72 \, \text{m} + 2.88 \, \text{m} + 4.19 \, \text{m}) = 10.79 \, \text{m} - 10.79 \, \text{m} = 0 \, \text{m}$

• The vertical section above the 1.32 m segment: $3.11 \, \text{m} - 1.32 \, \text{m} = 1.79 \, \text{m}$

Perimeter Calculation

The perimeter is the sum of all side lengths of the shape:

$P = 10.79 \, \text{m} + 5.39 \, \text{m} + 1.32 \, \text{m} + 0.96 \, \text{m} + 3.72 \, \text{m} + 2.88 \, \text{m} + 4.19 \, \text{m} + 1.79 \, \text{m}$

Calculating step-by-step:

1. Horizontal Segments: $10.79 + 3.72 + 2.88 + 4.19 = 21.58 \, \text{m}$

2. Vertical Segments: $5.39 + 1.32 + 0.96 + 1.79 = 9.46 \, \text{m}$

3. Total Perimeter: $P = 21.58 \, \text{m} + 9.46 \, \text{m} = 31.04 \, \text{m}$

Area Calculation

The shape can be divided into two rectangles for calculating area:

1. Upper Rectangle:

   • Width: $10.79 \, \text{m}$
   • Height: $3.11 \, \text{m}$ $\text{Area}_{\text{upper}} = 10.79 \times 3.11 = 33.5169 \, \text{m}^2$

2. Lower Section:

   • Divide into two smaller rectangles:

     • Rectangle 1 (left): Width = $3.72 \, \text{m}$, Height = $1.32 \, \text{m}$
     • Rectangle 2 (right): Width = $2.88 \, \text{m}$, Height = $0.96 \, \text{m}$

   • Area calculations: $\text{Area}_{1} = 3.72 \times 1.32 = 4.9104 \, \text{m}^2$ $\text{Area}_{2} = 2.88 \times 0.96 = 2.7648 \, \text{m}^2$

   • Total Lower Area: $\text{Area}_{\text{lower}} = 4.9104 + 2.7648 = 7.6752 \, \text{m}^2$

3. Total Area: $\text{Area}_{\text{total}} = 33.5169 + 7.6752 = 41.1921 \, \text{m}^2$

Final Results

• Perimeter: $31.04 \, \text{m}$
• Area: $41.1921 \, \text{m}^2$
