A) #A=142 1/4u^2#

B) #P=49.5u#

Explanation:

A) area of carpet is #bh+bh# where we are adding the two smaller areas.

#A=(11uxx8 1/2u)+(6 1/2uxx7 1/2u)#

#A=93 1/2u^2+48 3/4u^2=142 1/4u^2#

B) perimeter of the carpet is the sum of all the lengths, since none are equal.

#P=11u+8 1/2u+6 1/2u+7 1/2u+(8 1/2u+7 1/2u)#

#P=49.5u#
