Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the perimeter

The perimeter of a shape is the sum of all its side lengths. For this composite shape, the side lengths are \(1\) in, \(1\) in, \(5\) in, \(7\) in, \(2\) in, and \(5\) in.

$$1 + 1+5 + 7+2 + 5$$

Step2: Perform the addition

$$1+1 = 2$$

$$2+5 = 7$$

$$7+7 = 14$$

$$14+2 = 16$$

$$16+5 = 21$$

Answer:

C. \(21\) in
