Question

Find the perimeter of the figure below. Notice that one side length is not given.Assume that all intersecting sides meet at right angles.Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.12 yd015 yd7 yd9 yd5 yd

Answer 1

First, we find the missing side.

`15yd-9yd=6yd`

Then, we add all the sides to find the perimeter.

`\begin{gathered} P=15yd+12yd+6yd+7yd+9yd+5yd \\ P=54yd \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the perimeter of the figure is 54 yards.
