Question

What is the area and the perimeter of the given shape?

• A. Area $=20$ units, perimeter $=24sq$ units
  
• B. Area $=20sq$ units, perimeter $=24$ units
• C. Area $=16sq$ units, perimeter $=24$ units
  
• D. Area $=24sq$ units, perimeter $=20$ units

Answer 1

The correct option is B Area $=20sq$ units, perimeter $=24$ units


Area of the first square $=2\times 2=4sq$ units
Area of the rectangle $=6\times 2=12sq$ units
Area of the second square $=2\times 2=4sq$ units
Total area of the figure $=4+12+4=20sq$ units
Perimeter $=2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2=24$ units
