To solve the problem of finding the perimeter and area of the given triangles, we will use the following formulas:

1. Perimeter of a Triangle:
The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all three sides of the triangle.
\[
\text{Perimeter} = a + b + c
\]
where \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) are the lengths of the sides.

2. Area of a Triangle:
The area can be calculated using the formula:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
where the base is one side of the triangle, and the height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite vertex.

Let's solve each triangle step by step.

Triangle 1:


- Sides: 8 cm, 7 cm, 6 cm
- Height: 6 cm (given for area calculation)

#### Perimeter:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 8 + 7 + 6 = 21 \, \text{cm}
\]

#### Area:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
Assuming the base is 6 cm (since the height is given perpendicular to it):
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 6 = \frac{1}{2} \times 36 = 18 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

Answer for Triangle 1:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 21 \, \text{cm}, \quad \text{Area} = 18 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

---

Triangle 2:


- Sides: 6 cm, 6 cm, 3 cm
- Height: 5 cm (given for area calculation)

#### Perimeter:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 6 + 6 + 3 = 15 \, \text{cm}
\]

#### Area:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
Assuming the base is 3 cm (since the height is given perpendicular to it):
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 5 = \frac{1}{2} \times 15 = 7.5 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

Answer for Triangle 2:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 15 \, \text{cm}, \quad \text{Area} = 7.5 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

---

Triangle 3:


- Sides: 8 cm, 7 cm, 6 cm
- Height: 6 cm (given for area calculation)

#### Perimeter:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 8 + 7 + 6 = 21 \, \text{cm}
\]

#### Area:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
Assuming the base is 6 cm (since the height is given perpendicular to it):
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 6 = \frac{1}{2} \times 36 = 18 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

Answer for Triangle 3:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 21 \, \text{cm}, \quad \text{Area} = 18 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

---

Triangle 4:


- Sides: 5 cm, 5 cm, 5 cm (equilateral triangle)
- Height: 4 cm (given for area calculation)

#### Perimeter:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 5 + 5 + 5 = 15 \, \text{cm}
\]

#### Area:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
Assuming the base is 5 cm (since the height is given perpendicular to it):
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 4 = \frac{1}{2} \times 20 = 10 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

Answer for Triangle 4:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 15 \, \text{cm}, \quad \text{Area} = 10 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

---

Triangle 5:


- Sides: 5 cm, 5 cm, 4 cm
- Height: 4 cm (given for area calculation)

#### Perimeter:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 5 + 5 + 4 = 14 \, \text{cm}
\]

#### Area:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
Assuming the base is 4 cm (since the height is given perpendicular to it):
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 4 = \frac{1}{2} \times 16 = 8 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

Answer for Triangle 5:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 14 \, \text{cm}, \quad \text{Area} = 8 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

---

Triangle 6:


- Sides: 8 cm, 8 cm, 8 cm (equilateral triangle)
- Height: 7 cm (given for area calculation)

#### Perimeter:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 8 + 8 + 8 = 24 \, \text{cm}
\]

#### Area:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
Assuming the base is 8 cm (since the height is given perpendicular to it):
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 7 = \frac{1}{2} \times 56 = 28 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

Answer for Triangle 6:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 24 \, \text{cm}, \quad \text{Area} = 28 \, \text{cm}^2
