Question

find the perimeter of the composite figure, which is comprised of an isosceles trapezoid atop a square. the figure is not drawn to scale. draw 5 cm 8 cm 11 cm show your work here hint: to add the square root symbol (√□ ), type
oot\

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the sides of the composite figure

The composite figure has sides: \(5\ \text{cm}\), two sides of \(8\ \text{cm}\) (since it's an isosceles trapezoid, the non - parallel sides are equal), and two sides equal to the side of the square which is \(11\ \text{cm}\).

Step2: Calculate the perimeter

The perimeter \(P\) of a figure is the sum of all its sides. So, \(P=5 + 8+8 + 11+11\).
