You shouldn't have any trouble with the perimeter.  4 applications of the distance formula and sum.

 

For the area one way or the other you're going to need the height of the trapezoid.  That's not so easy.

 

As far as I can tell you're going to need to use the formula for the distance between two parallel lines.

 

the top of the trapezoid has slopem=5763=23(yt7)=23(x3)yt=23x+9

 

the bottom of the trapezoid has the same slope(yb5)=23(x+1)yb=23x+133

 

The distance between two lines isd=|b2b1|m2+1

 

b1=9, b2=133, m=23d=|9133|49+1=143139=1413=141313

 

the length of the top segment ist=(63)2+(57)2=13the length of the bottom segment is b=(15)2+(51)2=52=213

 

Now we can apply the area of a trapezoid formulaA=t+b2h=13+2132×141313=3132141313=21

 

I kind of rushed through this and there may be an easier method.  I'm sure folks will chime in pointing out my errors.

My bad, I probably should've said thatI figured this out. I'm sorry that I made you do all of that work >.<
