Know the Answer?

Reuben Ellis · Answer 1

You would add all the sides since it's dimensions which could mean the perimeter then divide it by 2

4+4 = 8 cm / 2 = 4 cm/2 = 2 cm

10+10 = 20 cm / 2 = 10 cm/2 = 5 cm

the right answer is B, 2 cm by 5 cm

Jewel Newton · Answer 2

Just divide both by 2.

4/2=2

10/2=5

so the answer is

2cm by 5cm
