Examine the shape made with algebra tiles at right.  

1. Write an expression that represents the perimeter of the shape. Then evaluate your expression for $x=6$ and $y=10$ units.

   Step 1(a):

   Label each side with its length and write an expression for the perimeter. $2x+3y+(y−2)+4=2x+4y+2$

   

   Step 2(a):

   Evaluate this expression.
   $2(6)+4(10)+2\\12+40+2=54$

   Answer (a):

   $54$

2. Write an expression that represents the area of the shape. What is the area if $x=6$ and $y=10$ units?

   Hint 1(b):

   Area is the total square units of a shape.

   Hint 2(b):

   It might be helpful to break the shape into parts, find the area of the parts, and then sum them to find the area of the whole.

   

   Answer (b):

   $113$ square units. Make sure to show your work, including the expression you wrote for the area.
