Exercise 2 Page 829

The perimeter of a trapezoid is the sum of its four side lengths. The area is one half the product of the height and the sum of the bases.

Perimeter: $92.5 in$
Area: $500 in^{2}$

Practice makes perfect

For the given polygon we will find its perimeter and its area one at a time. Let's do it!

Perimeter

The perimeter of a polygon is found by adding all of its side lengths. Let's first identify the given polygon and its side lengths.

Trapezoid

Since we are not given enough information, we can assume that the given diagram is a trapezoid. Recall that the bases of trapezoids are parallel.
