Question

What is the perimeter of this shape?

A.
32 ft

B.
30 ft

C.
17.5 ft

D.
14.5 ft

Answer 1

The lines drawn on the perimeter indicate that the lengths are the same so the single line indicates it is the same length as the 5 ft line, etc... so there is one 3 ft, two 5 ft, two 3.5 ft, and two 6 ft I inescapable in the perimeter.

3 + 2 (5) + 2 (3.5) + 2 (6) =
3 + 10 + 7 + 12 =
32

The perimeter is 32 ft
