Answer

Area of the Triangle = $A$ = 22.32 ft$^{2}$ Perimeter of the Triangle = $P$ = 21.6 ft

Work Step by Step

Area of a Triangle: $A$ = $\frac{1}{2}$$b$$h$ Therefore: $A$ =$\frac{1}{2}$(7.2 ft)(6.2 ft) $A$ = 22.32 ft$^{2}$ Perimeter of a Triangle: $P$ = $a$ + $b$ + $c$ Therefore: $P$ = 7.2 ft + 7.2 ft + 7.2 ft $P$ = 21.6 ft
