Question

look at the polygon below. what is the perimeter of the polygon? 20 ft 20 ft 12 ft 12 ft 15 ft 62 ft

Explanation:

Step1: Identify all outer sides

The polygon has top/bottom sides: 20+12+12+20=64 ft (top) and 62 ft (bottom); vertical sides: 15+12+15=42 ft (left/right combined, since the indented vertical parts add 12 ft each side). Wait, correct approach: "push out" indents—total length of top/bottom equals 62+12+12=86 ft (each indent adds 12 ft to both top and bottom? No, perimeter of such shape = perimeter of outer rectangle plus 2122. Outer rectangle: length 62 ft, height 15 ft → perimeter 2(62+15)=154 ft. Indents add 412 ft (2 indents, each with 2 vertical sides of 12 ft). So total perimeter=154+48=202 ft.

Step2: Calculate total perimeter

Sum all outer edges: 62 (bottom) + 15 (right) + 20 (top right) +12 (down) +12 (up) +20 (top left) +15 (left) +12 (down) +12 (up) → wait simpler: outer rectangle 2(62+15)=154, plus 412=48 → 154+48=202.

Answer:

202 ft
