Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image shows a polygon with labeled side lengths, and you're asked to find the perimeter and area. Let’s break it down:
Perimeter Calculation
The polygon has 5 sides with the following lengths:
- One horizontal side:
- One vertical side:
- One diagonal side:
- One horizontal side:
- The final vertical side: This corresponds to the height of the trapezoid and is equal to since it’s a rectangle on the left.
Thus, the perimeter is:
Area Calculation
The polygon appears to be a combination of a rectangle and a right triangle.
-
Rectangle Area:
-
Right Triangle Area: The right triangle has a base of and a height of . So, its area is:
Thus, the total area is:
Conclusion:
The correct option is:
