Question

find the perimeter and area of the figure.
the perimeter of the figure is □ yards.
the area of the figure is square yards.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the perimeter

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of its side lengths.
The side lengths are \(13\) yd, \(13\) yd (since the triangle is isosceles, the two non - base sides are equal), and \(5 + 5=10\) yd.
\(P=13 + 13+10\)

Step2: Calculate the area

The area of a triangle is \(A=\frac{1}{2}\times base\times height\). The base \(b = 10\) yd and the height \(h = 12\) yd.
\(A=\frac{1}{2}\times10\times12\)

Answer:

The perimeter of the figure is \(36\) yards.
The area of the figure is \(60\) square yards.
