Question 591104
I am helping my 6th grader and I am stuck. The perimeter of a figure is 42.5, how do I find the area. The figure in question is an 8 sided polygon. 7 of the eight sides are the same size, the eighth runs along the top. Can you show me how to solve this please.

Not sure what you mean by "runs along the top."
Can you scan and send a sketch?  Or a photo with a digital camera?
