<p>Anyone know how to do [url=<a href="http://www.collegeboard.com/testing/sat/skillsmap/mathematics/700/196252.html%5Dthis%5B/url"&gt;http://www.collegeboard.com/testing/sat/skillsmap/mathematics/700/196252.html]this[/url&lt;/a&gt;]?&lt;/p>

<p>It's the second one:
Solve nonroutine problems involving the application of concepts from the following: Geometry and Measurement and Algebra and Functions </p>

<p>The area of the figure above is . What is the perimeter of the figure?</p>

2

<p>Divide the figure into two rectangles -- the first 1 high by 2 wide, the second x high by 1 wide (where x is the distance that the bottom of the figure jogs down). The area of the first rectangle is 2, so the area of the second must be 1/4. x, then is a 1/4 and the perimeter follows.</p>

<p>Thanks! It seems obvious now that you've answered it... I feel stupid!</p>
