Question

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

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

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\text{Area = 20 sq units, perimeter = 24 units}$

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