Find the area and perimeter of this figure

In order to accomplish that assignment, you might suspect that a person

needs to know something about the figure ... things like maybe what shape

it is, and what a few of its measurements are. You would be absolutely correct

too. I've looked over your question, and found that you haven't included a single

shred of information about the figure. I don't know if it's a square that can fit in

the bottom of my coffee cup, or a circle that the Earth can fit through. If I see it

walking around on the street tomorrow, I won't even recognize it. Although I do

crave to solve the problem and answer your question, I have nothing to get to

Square-1 with. I'm sitting here at Square-0, looking for information to use in

my calculations.
