Answer

$P=24\sqrt 5\ ft$ $A=160\ ft^2$

Work Step by Step

Step 1. Using the figure given in the Exercise and the formulas, we have for the perimeter $P=2\times4\sqrt {20}+2\times\sqrt {80}=16\sqrt 5+8\sqrt 5=24\sqrt 5\ ft$ Step 2. The area can be found as $A=(4\sqrt {20})(\sqrt {80})=4\sqrt {1600}=4\times40=160\ ft^2$
